Thanks to you and NOI for the extra information.

Unfortunately for the Princess, she was later charged with treason for
aiding the enemy and was scheduled to die in front of a firing squad.
Instead, she was sentenced to life in a convent thanks to the intervention
of the Czar. When she was freed during the revolution, she joined the Reds
and was later killed by them.

I had assumed she had been detained during the Revolution (because of her
connection to the nobility) but this says it was Imperial Russia which
imprisoned her and the Bolsheviks who released her.

Shakhovskaya's story just got even more interesting.

Well, to me at least.
