"Unlike other Soviet children, the students received information from overseas and were allowed to travel to visit their parents.

A Russian-Palestinian woman who was in the school, named "Daulia Saadi[,] remembers Mao's eldest son, Mao Anying [1922-1950], who was known in the home as Sergei Yun Fu 谢尔盖·永福.

"His story ended tragically. On returning to China, according to some former Interdom pupils, Mao Anying clashed with his father, accusing him of creating a cult of personality. Partly for this reason, he volunteered to fight in Korea, and died there.
