Natančno število žrtev ni znano. Domnevajo, da je umrlo od 170 do 300 ruskih in do 80 avstroogrskih vojakov. Na slovesnosti ob osemdeseti obletnici dogodka so prisotni predsednik Republike Slovenije Milan Kučan, ljubljanski nadškof Alojzij Šuštar, beograjski nadškof Lojze Perko, podpredsednik ruske dume Sergej Baburin, cerkveno slovesnost je vodil namestnik ruskega metropolita Kirila škof Inokenti Dimitrovski. Predstavniki slovenskih in ruskih oblasti položijo spominske vence. The chapel was built in 1916 in memory of the Russian prisoners of war who were engaged in forced labour during World War I. They were ordered to ease access to the front and to construct a road across the Vršič pass, while during the construction they were buried under a massive avalanche. The exact number of victims is unknown. It is estimated the number is from 170 and maybe up to 300 Russian soldiers and up to 80 Austro-Hungarians soldiers.

The church ceremony was headed by the Russian Deputy Metropolitan Bishop Inokenti Dimitrovski. Representatives from Slovenian and Russian authorities layed memorial wreaths.
