Family Saga

Vladimir Kostyuchenko is 87 years old. The youngest of five sons, Vladimir began documenting his family tree as a child and later researched archival records dating back to the late 19th century. He eventually decided to “wake up the silence of his family” by organizing a reunion of all his relatives. On that day, the quiet village was taken over by a caravan of 40 cars! Four hundred people from across Russia gathered for the first meeting of the Kostyuchenko family. Since then, the family has met every five years.
