1881-1906 Russian Pogrom (mar 13, 1881 – oct 22, 1905)

Description:

A wave of pogroms against Jews erupted in Russia is response to the assassination of Tzar Alexander 2.

In the post-1871 period, pogroms were often perpetrated with tacit approval of the Tsarist authorities. Evidence exists that during the 1905 pogrom, the army supported the mob:

The Bolshevik, Osip Aaronovitch Piatnitsky, who was in Odessa at the time recalls what happened:
"There I saw the following scene: a gang of young men, between 25 and 20 years old, among whom there were plain-clothes policemen and members of the Okhrana (secret police), were rounding up anyone who looked like a Jew—men, women and children—stripping them naked and beating them mercilessly... We immediately organised a group of revolutionaries armed with revolvers... we ran up to them and fired at them. They ran away. But suddenly between us and the pogromists there appeared a solid wall of (Tzarist) soldiers, armed to the teeth and facing us.
We retreated.
The soldiers went away, and the pogromists came out again. This happened a few times. It became clear to us that the pogromists were acting together with the (Tzarist) military. (Wikipedia)
