Kiev Pogrom (1905)

Kiev Pogrom (1905)

The Kiev pogrom of October 18-October 20 (October 31-November 2, 1905, N.S.) came as a result of the collapse of the city hall meeting of October 18, 1905 in Kiev in the Russian Empire. Consequently, a mob was drawn into the streets. Among the perpetrators were monarchists, reactionaries, anti-Semites, and common criminals, proclaiming that "all Russia's troubles stemmed from the machinations of the Jews and socialists." The pogrom resulted in a massacre of approximately 100 Jews.

According to William C. Fuller [William C. Fuller, The Foe Within: Fantasies of Treason and the End of Imperial Russia, 2006] ,

The events building up to the Kiev pogrom included a country-wide wave of Jewish pogroms in a number of Russian towns. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, [Herman Rosenthal Encyclopedia, volume I pg. 347] "anti-Jewish riots ("Pogromy") broke out in Elizabethgrad (April 27, 28), Kiev (May 8-11), Shpola (May 9), Ananiev (May 9), Wasilkov (May 10), Konotop (May 10), and during the following six months, in one hundred and sixty other places of southern Russia...It was clear that the riots were premeditated. To give but one example—a week before the pogrom of Kiev broke out, Von Hubbenet, chief of police of Kiev, warned some of his Jewish friends of the coming riots."

In the opinion of “a Russian from Kiev”, published in Prince Meshchersky’s journal, Grazhdanin ("The Citizen"), as quoted by Vladimir Lenin, [V.I. Lenin, On the Question of National Policy [http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:OYi7eXnf9ZgJ:www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1914/apr/06b.htm+Kiev+Pogrom+(1905)&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=42&gl=ca] ]

Historian Shlomo Lambroza, not trusting the police sources, used data from opposition materials and counted 3,103 murdered Jews for the entire country of Russia during the 1905-1906 wave of pogroms.
