In Radomysl the pogroms assumed a chronic character, and were continuous because at that place and at that time the gangs of Sokolowsky had already started their bloody work. On March 13th a new pogrom was carried out by the red troops in Korosten. This pogrom was ended by a new advance of Petlura. In addition there were Petlura pogroms in Kalinovka, Kublitsh, Ziatkovzy, and other towns of the province of Podolia. The pogroms in April were less numerous and not of a general character. The outstanding event of this month was the activity of Struck in the district of Tshernobyl. On April 7th his gang was raging in Tshernobyl itself. At the beginning of May, Gornostaipol and Ivankov were ransacked, and during the whole month the murderous gangs of Struck were plundering and slaughtering.Jews in the surrounding villages, more especially in those situated on the shores of the Dnieper, where no steamer was allowed to pass without the Jews being taken off and drowned. Up to August 27th a total of forty-one settlements in this locahty had suffered. In addition to the above, Sokolowsky's activities continued in this district, and Korolevka was ransacked on April 22nd, ^lalin, Bakitnoe and Kornin on April 10th. At this time another settlement ^was ruined by a detachment of Petlurists, who were retreating from GUebsk towards Novogradvolynsk. The gangs of Zeliony worked near Kiev itself, carrying on their ferocious activities in Vasilkov, which was subjected to a pogrom lasting from April 7th to 15th, in Eshishtshev, April 9th, and in the village of SepUsetskoe, Olshanka, and others. It should be pointed out that in Vasilkov the pogrom was perpetrated by tiie Sixth Soviet Regiment. There were gangs of freebooters also in the region of Tarashtshansk, and the pogrom in Boguslav, which belongs to this region, lasted from April 4th to AprU 25th. In the ]jrovince of Podolia a large number of settlements were destroyed, among them Balta and Bratzlav.
The pogroms which took place in May were very numerous, and nearly all carried out b>- Grigoriev and his detachments. For most of them the Ataman himself and his assistants Uvarov and Netshaiev were responsible. Three-quarters of all the pogroms took place in the south-eastern part of the province of Kiev, in the districts of Tsherkask and Tshigirin. Many pogroms were organized in the neighbouring districts of the provinces of Kherson and Poltava. Those pogroms for which Grigoriev was not responsible were organized by the local peasants, who were under the influence of the " Universals," which were then being issued by the contending Governments, Chronologicall}' the pogroms can be arranged as follows: —

During the same period pogroms took place in FHmdukleevka, Medviedevka, stations Bobrinskaja Zvetkovo, JMoshna, Globin, Kassel, Tomashov, A'erstshak, Vessioly Koot, Vessioly Podol and others. At the station Ivanovka the men of Grigoriev murdered sixty-two Jews from Kodyma who were fleeing to Odessa to escape the pogron^. Many murders were also conimitted at other stations.
Directly attributable to Gregoriev's " Universals " are the pogrom in the IJman district, which geographically lies far away from the region in which his troops were acting. The most sanguinary pogroms were those in Uman, May 13th; in Doobovo, May 13th to 14th; Talnoje, May 13th, and in Christionovka, Lodishenko, Biezovok, Mankovka, Ivanka, Booki and others.
