A bit unlikely. I had an aunt who had participated in the Lodz textile
strike that was part of the 1905 revolution. Also, the mother of an old
friend had been a Bolshevik as a young teenager in 1917. But they're both
long dead. To be, say, 15 years old in 1917 would mean you're 97 now.
I would hope there are survivors healthy enough to correspond, but the
odds are low.
