Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on October 19, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Vyacheslav! With every year, your sculptures keep standing taller—literally and figuratively. Who else manages to turn stone into awe-inspiring history lessons? Your Saints Cyril and Methodius aren’t just beautiful monuments—they’re timeless selfies spots for tourists!

May the coming years bring you as much success as you've had bringing key historical figures vividly back to life in bronze. Seriously though, anyone who makes 9th-century saints trend again deserves all the cake they can handle.

Here’s hoping your upcoming adventures leave lasting impressions—but not quite as permanent (or heavy!) as those remarkable statues of yours. Cheers!
