Is it common to congratulate people for their birthday in Russia?

In the U.S. we just say "Happy Birthday"

Yes, this is normal. We bless the man, who has a birthday, and wish him different goods. That's some sort of tradition.

we blow out candles and make wishes :Smug:
 
Really? When I lived back in Moldavia under Soviet rule, they always picked me up in chairs and tossed me about here and there. I figured it was part of the tradition.
