Kishinev Pogrom - Second Pogrom

Second Pogrom

A second pogrom took place on October 19-20, 1905. This time the riots began as political protests against the Tsar, but turned into an attack on Jews wherever they could be found. By the time the riots were over, 19 Jews were killed and 56 were injured. Jewish self-defense leagues, organized after the first pogrom, stopped some of the violence, but were not wholly succ was a part of a much larger movement of 600 pogroms that swept the Russian Empire after the October Manifesto of 1905.
