''Storozhevoy'' was pursued by 10 bombers which put it out of action some six hours into the episode; Soviet marines backed by nine warships would storm the ship and retake it. Sablin and his second, Alexander Shein, would be the only conspirators placed on trial; the others were freed. Shein received an eight-year sentence, while Sablin, who would have been given 15 years, was sentenced to death on the personal orders of Brezhnev himself. Sablin was executed by firing squad on August 3, 1976.
