Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Klykov was a Soviet and Russian sculptor. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich was born in the village of Marmyzhi in Kursk Oblast into a peasant family, received basic technical education, graduated from the Kursk Construction Technical School and worked in production for a while. In 1960 he enrolled in the art-and-graphics faculty of the Kursk Pedagogical Institute, but after two years he decided to change the direction of his studies and entered the Faculty of Sculpture of the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, which he graduated from in 1968 under the guidance of N.V. Tomsky with a specialization as a monumental sculptor.
In 1979 Klykov decorated the Central Children's Music Theater in Moscow, and in 1982 he created the monumental sculpture Mercury at the International Trade Center. These works demonstrated the sculptor's mastery and brought him recognition. In the late 1980s Klykov turned to Orthodox-patriotic themes, which became an important phase of his work. A landmark event was the creation of the monument to St. Sergius of Radonezh. In 1993 the sculptor initiated the creation of a memorial museum for Igor Talkov. He served as president of the International Foundation for Slavic Literacy and Culture and headed the Union of the Russian People. The sculptor's last work was a monument to Archimandrite Ippolit (Khalin), a close friend of the master. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich died on June 2, 2006 in Moscow and was buried in his native village of Marmyzhi.
