RUSSIAN REACTION AND JEWISH EMIGRATION 1.

AFTERMATH OF THE POGROM POLICY In this wise, beginning with the May laws of 1882, the Government gradually succeeded in monopolizing all anti-Jewish activities by letting bureaucratic persecutions take the place of street pogroms.
However, in 1883 and 1884, the "street" made again occasional attempts to compete with the Government.

On May 10, 1883, on the eve of Alexander III.'s coronation, a pogrom took place in the large southern city of Rostov-on-the-Don.

About a hundred Jewish residences and business places were demolished and plundered.

All portable property of the Jews was looted by the mob, and the rest was destroyed.
