The bodies were recovered from the mine by the [[White Army]] in 1918, who arrived too late to rescue them. Their remains were placed in coffins and moved around Russia during struggles between the White and the opposing [[Red Army]]. By 1920, the coffins were interred in a former Russian mission in [[Beijing]], now beneath a parking area. In 1981 Grand Duchess Elisabeth was [[canonization|canonized]] by the [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia]], and in 1992 by the [[Moscow Patriarchate]].
