Between the 'Whites' and the 'Reds': Who carried out pogroms against the Jews during the Civil War?

Nadia Lipes (entretien avec / interview by Andriy Kobalia), Ukrainian Jewish Encounter — 26 November 2018

More than 800 pogroms between 1917 and 1920, 50,000 to 100,000 dead by various estimates. Perpetrators: Ukrainian armed units, otamans' bands, Denikin's White troops, and also some Red Army units. The 'Jewish communist' stereotype serves as a central pretext.
