Any idea what happened to her? Was she murdered by the Bolsheviks like the
rest of the royal family?


I believe she was detained at the time of the revolution but was released and
joined the Reds; however, I don't know whether or not she flew with the Red
air force during the Civil War. She met her end, I think, in the early 20s,
possibly executed.

Shakhovskaya's story (and those of her female air force colleagues) seems an
interesting one but I really don't know much about it. Anyone else got more
detail to add?
