comrades debianovody, share the info, how long does the team forget about stable releases?
As far as I know, they do not have a clear release policy and support.
and what happens in reality:
how many years are repositories available?
how old are the updates?

Q: How long will security updates be provided?
A: The security team tries to support a stable distribution for about one year after the next stable distribution has been released, except when another stable distribution is released within this year. It is not possible to support three distributions; supporting two simultaneously is already difficult enough.

Translation required?
Repositories for older releases are available here: archive.debian.org/debian/dists/

If you read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Release_history , you can get the answer in the "Supported until" column
