Social reformer, poet, and writer Annabhau Sathe’s bust will be formally unveiled by Deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Maharashtra Assembly speaker Rahul Narvekar in Moscow, Russia on September 14.
Margarita Rudomino Foreign Languages Study Centre had installed the bust in memory of Annabhau Sathe two years ago in the institute. However, it will not be formally unveiled next week.

Sathe’s literature was influenced by leftist ideology and he was overwhelmed by the workers’ revolution led by Lenin in Russia.His literary work includes Powada of Stalingrad, My Journey to Russia, and many stories and novels have been translated into Russian language.
“It is my honour to unveil Annabhau Sathe’s bust in Moscow where I will be going with Assembly speaker Rahul Narvekar,” Fadnavis said on Wednesday.
