And he will reach 1110 days once he returns from the current mission in September.
878 days in total, across all his expeditions. Not continuous.
The longest continuous stay of 473 days was by Valeri Polyakov on board the Mir station in 1994-95.
Take that into account when reading news made from state press-releases like the one in the post.
P.S.: For the full context, the Roscosmos ex-boss also has had his own private military company for a while.
Are you suggesting that older people are less likely to get cancer?
My understanding was that cancer was mostly driven by the immune system's mechanisms for killing rogue cells failing. The assumption is that there's always cells doing things they shouldn't, it's when you fail to stop them it becomes a problem.

Calling someone a "Russian cosmonaut" goes against the DRY principles ;)
For example —
Nitpicking, "DRY" is a principle, so you probably meant to say "goes against DRY ;)"
Imagine trying to go to a place right now where suddenly you weighed 3x as much. In all probability, you would die without some sort of special assistance - probably of some sort of cardiovascular failure. If you're a 180lb male, it's the equivalent of strapping a 360lb weight suit on yourself, with the relevant difference that lying down wouldn't offer even the slightest of respite from the forces being imposed on your body. It also has interesting implications for sports, which are just going to be awesome in low g. An Earther would have a massive and tremendously unfair advantage against a Martian.
There's going to be some dramatic (and rapid) social, physical, and even evolutionary drift.
Which is necessary to go any meaningful distance in space anyway
