Where there people who lived long enough to see both the October revolution and the fall of the Soviet union? Did they live any memoirs?

by Sangeorge

I'm wondering if there are some testimonies of people who outlived the Soviet union and where old enough to remember life before 1918 and were alive at time of his collapse in 1991. Such individuals who have had to live at least 80 years surviving to both Word war , famines, and the other catastrophic events which hit the Soviet union during its lifespan so Imagine there were few and far between.

This is a question that's come up a bit, and so I gave an earlier version of this question a shot in this answer I wrote. I'd especially point out Alexander Briansky, who participated in the storming of the Winter Palace in 1917, and was alive and interviewed for a BBC documentary in the 1990s.
