From the end of March the bands began a systematic activity. In the precinct of Radomysl the Sokolovsky bands did their work. In April it was mainly Struk who developed a feverish activity covering the precinct of Chernobyl. In the days from the seventh to the twelfth of April, the bands raged in Chernobyl (sic) itself. At the beginning of the following month (May 3) Gornostaipol was destroyed, and the next day (May 4) Ivankov met a similar fate. In the time intervening they did murder and death in a whole line of neighboring villages and settlements, especially on the banks of the Dnieper, where they stopped ships and drowned the Jewish passengers. By the end of August there were thirty-two such places. During the whole month of April Sokolovsky raged in his district. Zeleny's bands too made their appearance hard by Kiev. In the days from the 7th to the i$th of April they devastated Vasilkov, the village Olshanka, and others. In the circuit Tarascha freebooters also appeard on the scene, who did their criminal work in Boguslav between the 4th and 25th of April.
In the following months the bands continued their horrible activity. Radomysl had to suffer again on the 1 3th of July. On the I5th of June the bands were in Brussilov; on the 2Oth in Khodorkov; on the 24th in Cherniakhov, then in Kornip. On the I7th of June a pogrom was again made in Dubovo; Obykhov was plundered at the same time, and on the 25th of June, Kagarlyk.
The pogrom activity of the bands assumed a specially dangerous scope in the month of July in the governments of Podolia, Kiev and Volhynia, Kiev suffering most as in the preceding month. It has been exactly established that the number of pogroms in the government of Kiev during the month in question was 26, in Volhynia 8, in Podolia 13. In the Government of Kiev the accursed work was done by the bands, in the two other governments the regular troops of Petlura also participated.
Of new districts which had hitherto been spared, the first to be affected was the circuit Pogrebische, in which pogroms were instituted in Borshchagovka on the 3rd of July; in Dzunkov on the 5th; in Novo- Fastov on the nth; in Volodarka and a number of neighboring villages on the 2nd, 9th, and nth. To the west of these places near the boundary of Volhynia, the pogromists were in Priluki on the 4th of July; in Vakhnovka on the 8th; in Turbov on the 9th and in Kalinovka on the I4th. In the district of Sokolov-Roshevo a Jewish massacre took place on the 3rd of July; in Makarov on the 6th; in Brussilov on the 5th; in Kornip on the 9th; in Yassnogorodka on the 1 5th. In the sphere of activity of the Batko Zeleny, pogroms took place in Rzhischev on the ist and 1 3th of July, in Kosin on the I7th; in Pereyaslev (Government of Poltava) on the I5th to the ipth of July. In the circuit Tarascha the pogrom heroes distinguished themselves on the 2nd of July in Boyarki, on the nth to the 24th in Koshevatoie. Finally at the end of the month, on the 29th of July, a new blood bath took place in Uman.

In the government of Podolia, pogroms took place in the following localities: Zhmerinka (July 3); Brailov, Pikov, Shenderov, Voronovitzy, Obodin (10); Yanov (10-15); Tulchin (14); Litin (18); Novo- Konstantinov, Teplik, Gaisin, Pecheri (20-25).
Many of the places mentioned were visited by the pogromists more than once (Radomysl, Cherniakhov, Kornip, Volodarka, Yelisavetgrad, and others). In some places there were as many as four, five and even ten pogroms until the Jewish population disappeared entirely and no trace of Jewish possessions was left.
In August the number and extent of pogroms was comparatively small. Pereyaslev, in the government of Poltava, was again visited by the bands of Lopatkin. On the 3rd of August Jewish persecutions took place in Vinnitza; on the 4th in Golovanevsk; on the 25th in Bielaia Tserkov.
