Anti-Semitic pogroms begin in Southern Russia

Odessa is listed among the most notable pogroms of the 1881–1882 wave and among the historical Odessa pogrom years.

The wave of anti-Jewish riots that swept through southwestern Imperial Russia from 1881 to 1882 included Odessa among its most notable pogroms, alongside Kiev and Warsaw. Odessa's 1881 pogrom also appears in the longer series of Odessa pogroms recorded in 1821, 1849, 1859, 1871, 1881, 1886, 1900, 1905, and 1918–1919. The supplied passages do not give a specific date or description for the Odessa 1881 event itself.
