In 1918, the Communist government exiled her to [[w:Yekaterinburg|Yekaterinburg]] and then to [[w: Alapaevsk|Alapaevsk]], where she was violently killed by the local Bolsheviks on [[July 18]], 1918, along with Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich Romanov; the Princes Ioann Konstantinovich, Konstantin Konstantinovich, Igor Konstantinovich, and Vladimir Pavlovich Paley; Grand Duke Sergei's secretary, Fyodor Remez; and Nun Barbara Yakovleva, a sister from the Grand Duchess Elizabeth's conventwho had refused to leave her Abbess. They were herded into the forest, pushed into an abandoned mineshaft, into which grenades were then hurled. An observer heard them singing Church [[hymn]]s as they were pushed into the mineshaft. After the Bolsheviks left, he could still hear singing for some time. The last thing Elizabeth did as she lay dying in the mineshaft was to bandage the wounds of Prince Ioann with her handkerchief. Later the White Army briefly recaptured this area, and her [[relics]] were recovered and the account of the person who witnessed it recorded. Her relics were first taken by the White Army to Beijing and placed in the Church of St. Seraphim of Sarov, and then they were taken to [[Jerusalem]] and placed in [http://www.jerusalem-mission.org/convent_magdalene.html the Church of St. Mary Magdalene], which she and her husband had helped to build.
