When the interrogations were finished, there were so many prisoners to execute that they had to be killed in batches throughout the fall and winter. Twelve hundred men were executed, their families exiled. A few hundred were spared due to their youth, but had their faces branded or their noses cut off to mark them as traitors permanently. By 1708, all of the Streltsy, including the sixteen regiments that had no involvement in the revolt, had been permanently disbanded, scattered, exiled, and forbidden from ever bearing arms again.
