Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on August 05, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Nikolai Baturin! May your day be as epic and imaginative as "The Centaur," yet smoother than the graceful verses of "The Flight of the Stork." Your literary adventures have taken us from mythical realms to poetic skies—truly a journey worth celebrating!

Here's hoping this year brings you more success than even “The Heart of the Bear” screenplay. Keep inspiring readers with stories that roar louder than bears and gallop faster than centaurs. Cheers to another chapter filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps fewer writer's blocks (though we suspect you've already conquered those). Happy birthday once again!
