The Biolistock Pogram in Russian Occupied Poland

The most violent episode of this period was not revolutionary at all. It was reactionary. And specifically, i am talking about the biolistock pogram in russian occupied poland in june of 19 o six. The city was predominantly jewish. Jews accounted for three quarters of the 63 thous or so people who lived there. There were assassinations and counter assassinations between police and revolutionary groups that led to martial law being declared in september 19 o five,. That was not lifted until march of 19 o 6.
