Today we celebrate the birthday of a person whose energy seems to run on its own special fuel — Sergey! 🎁 Our Deputy Director, a generator of ideas, who can turn even the most serious discussion into a lively exchange of inspiration. If something exciting is happening around the InteRussia universe, chances are Sergey has already thought about it, improved it, and added three more ideas on top. He moves faster than most to-do lists, always thinking ahead, connecting people, launching new initiatives and reminding us that even the boldest ideas can become reality if you have the courage — and the drive — to pursue them. Sergey, may your year be filled with new projects, new discoveries, and the same unstoppable energy that inspires everyone around you. And of course — with moments to celebrate the results of all those brilliant ideas. Happy Birthday! ❤️ #interussia #interussiafamily
