Biography[]
Pasikhat Dzhukalaeva claimed that she was born in the village of Tazbichi, in Itum-Kalinsky District, Russian Empire (now Chechnya, Russia) in 1881. She grew up there.
Aged 19, she married Vaid, who was also from Itum-Kale. They had two sons and four daughters. Dzhukalaeva heard about the 1917 Revolution months later when her husband went to sell wood in Grozny.
In February 1944, Dzukalaeva, along with all other Chechens, was deported to Kazakhstan. On the journey, her daughter Pesy died, but they were unable to bury her. They settled in Emba, Dzhurun, district of Aktobe. Dzhukalaeva returned to Chechnya years later and settled in Grozny.
During her life, Dzhukalaeva witnessed huge changes to Chechnya: she remembered the Russian Revolution, the Second World War, resettlement to Kazakhstan, and both Chechen wars. She considered Russia to be a different country, and wanted peace for Chechnya.
Towards the end of her life, Dzhukalaeva lived with her grand-daughter, but had an extended family of nine grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren. Her elder sister Asho was also reportedly a supercentenarian.
Pasikhat Dzhukalaeva probably died in Grozny, Chechnya, Russia in 2005, at the claimed age of 124 years. Prior to her death, Dzhukalaeva was recognized in Russia as the oldest woman in Chechnya. Her achievement was listed in the Divo Book of Records of Russia. In 2010, artist Zareta Murtazalieva painted a portrait of Dzhukalaeva as part of an exhibition celebrating Chechen women at the National Museum of the Chechen Republic.
