Past simple or past continuous
Would it be correct to use past simple instead of past continuous in these sentences:
He was living in Russia when the Revolution started.
He was working in a bank when he met his wife.
And would it be a correct sentence if I used past continuous instead of past simple:
He lived in Germany when he was young.
