Red Tourism: Back to the USSR

Children of Chinese revolutionaries revisit their Soviet youth

Hidden away in the USSR during China’s communist revolution, these children of China’s first communist revolutionaries were raised in a special Soviet boarding school and felt more Russian than Chinese. Now, childhood friends Li Duoli and Zhao Qilian, aka Tolya and Ira, go on a nostalgia tour of their second ‘homeland,’ visiting the capital, Moscow, and their old ‘hometown’, Ivanovo.
