Vladimir Kostyuchenko is 87 years old. Vladimir is the youngest of five sons. As a child, he began documenting his family history, and in his youth, he dug through archival records dating back to the late 1800s. Later, he decided to 'wake up the silence of his family,' as he puts it, by organizing a reunion of all his relatives. That day, the peaceful village was interrupted by a caravan of 40 cars! 400 people from all over Russia gathered for the first meeting of the Kostyuchenko family. Since then, the family has met every five years. They now have their own anthem, coat of arms, and flag. Vladimir Petrovich himself wrote three volumes of the «Family Saga».
