==History== The idea for the school of this type was put forth by a Swiss activist, Mentona Moser, and she donated part of her inheritance towards the school. Initially it was set near Podolsk in the village of Vaskino, and it was finished in 1929 but in 1933 a new building was constructed, financed by the textile women of Ivanovo under the patronage of the Soviet section of International Red Aid (also known as МОPR, its Russian acronym). The new building was designed in the constructivist style, floorplanned as the hammer and sickle. The boarding school was later named after founder Elena Dmitrievna Stasova. It was conceived as a school for children of repressed democratic leaders and activists from all over the world.
