In today’s Ukraine War Brief, Yewleea talks about opinion polls, pogroms, and traitors to Ukraine. A pogrom is an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group, in particular, that of Jewish people in russia or eastern Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, per the Oxford Dictionary. The literal translation from the russian is "to wreak havoc or demolish violently." Pogroms originated in the deeply anti-semitic russian empire. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the first pogrom occurred in Odesa in 1821.
