The plans of the Ottoman leader were to populate the village with the converted villagers, but it turned out that there were not enough of them. Before the bashi-bozouk left the village, they tried to burn the church, yet the stone walls remained and only the wooden furniture and the icons were destroyed. When some Russian commissions went to inspect the village 3 months later, the Ottoman authorities tried to bury the bodies, but they could not hide the smell in the air.
