Iran’s Ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, attended the unveiling, which showcased works published by Sadra Publishing House, an arm of the Ibn Sina Islamic Studies Foundation.

The collection spans Islamic studies, Iranian art, and political history. Highlights include a survey of Islamic tombstones in Kubači, Dagestan; a two-volume compilation on marriage and women based on statements by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei; a monograph on Islamic economic principles; a three-volume guide to Iranian miniature painting; and a critical study of the United States. Several titles were recommended by the fair’s curators.

Jalali said Russian-language editions of Iranian works continue to draw strong interest. Sadra Publishing alone has produced more than 500 titles in Russian, many translated from major Iranian authors.

Masoud Ahmadvand, the cultural attaché at Iran’s embassy, said more than 15 Iranian publishers are represented this year, offering books for general audiences, families, and children. Some titles commemorate the 1,500th anniversary of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Among the participating publishers, Nakhl-e Sabz presented Russian editions of Stay Celestial, a devotional work on Lady Fatimah, along with a three-volume history of colonialism and nine new children’s books. The publisher said its goal is to provide a broad “cultural basket” for families while avoiding overlap with existing translations.

The fair features more than 400 publishers from Russia and abroad and remains a key venue for cultural exchange between Iran and Russian-speaking readers.
