“Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.
Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

It was coined before the civil war, but it spread as a term used outside of Russia because of the civil war.
Could you cite that please? It isn’t that I don’t believe you I just want to know where you learned it.
Looks like I misremembered. It was popularized following the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.

There were a LOT of pogroms during the Russian Civil War, like 1,500 just from 1918-1920.
