She was incarcerated as what we would call today a Political prisoner. She was locked up to keep her out of Royal politics, so to speak. it would be analogus if Anastasia was caught alive in the USSR and then taken to some backwater Gulag for long term isolation- to keep her out of trouble . ( trouble for the Reds) this did not happen as she ( if one believes she got out) fled Russia at the time of the Ekaterinberg Massacre, almost certainly with the help of the IKGB or ( White) intelligence service .
