Red Tourism: Time Machine

Children of Chinese revolutionaries explore the roots of Bolshevism

Hidden away in the USSR during China’s revolution, these children of China’s first communist revolutionaries were raised in a special Soviet boarding school and felt more Russian than Chinese. Childhood friends Li Duoli and Zhao Qilian, Tolya and Ira, continue their nostalgic trip back to their second ‘homeland’ with a visit to Lenin’s birthplace and a tour of St. Petersburg.
