 Shanina was buried under a spreading pear tree on the shore of the Alle River—now called the Lava— and was later reinterred in the settlement of Wehlau.In 1964–65 a renewed interest in Shanina arose in the Soviet press, largely due to the publication of her diary.The newspaper "Severny Komsomolets" asked Shanina's contemporaries to write what they knew about her.
