Her passport shows that she's 125, and she says she last gave birth a mere 46 years ago, at the tender age of 79.
If true, she has beaten the previous record holder by almost a decade. Some critics, however, have thrown doubts on her story, suggesting her documents possibly don't offer the whole truth.
Possible in theory
Ulya Margusheva is an ethnic Kabardin from the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria in the North Caucasus. Long-lifer Ulya says she doesn't eat anything sweet or salty, and she hates bananas.
Her story becomes all the more fascinating with the revelation the woman gave birth to her only child when she was 79.
I explain it by the fact she lives in an ecologically-safe environment. She's a healthy woman herself,said Maria Tembotova, the republic's chief obstetrician.
And despite the fact she got married late, she had a healthy lifestyle. So it is possible in theory.
Journalists investigate
So far a Japanese woman lays claim to the record as the oldest mother to give birth. If Ulya really is the true world record holder, why is she enjoying so little publicity?
Two documents, her passport, and her child's birth certificate make it quite clear: Ulya was born in 1884 and her child was born 79 years later. Ulya explains:
Yes, I gave birth to my child naturally. No cesarean section. A nurse at the hospital told me when I was checking out with a child: 'Oh! What a poor woman!'
