Bravlin went to the tomb of Stephen Sourozh, which was located in the St. Sophia church Sourozh, but when he approached her, that "his face turned back." Bravlin immediately ordered the soldiers to return to the good people taken away, as well as the release of all prisoners, but there was no cure.
