The Russian Treasure of Shanghai

In 1988, Chinese police notified the Russian consulate that the oldest living Russian immigrant, Ksenia Pavlova, had passed away. At that time no one knew of any relatives who might be living, so it would be the job of the Soviet officials to take a full inventory of her possessions and report the findings to the Chinese government.
Ms. Pavlova came from a family of six children, two sisters and three bothers. Her father, Alexander Pavlova, was a railway engineer who had become successful helping build the Chinese Eastern Railway.
