At eleven o'clock fresh troops arrived on the spot.

On the morning of April 17 a new battalion of infantry came, and from that day on public order was no longer violated in Yelisavetgrad.
The news of the "victory" so easily won over the Jews of Yelisavetgrad aroused the dormant pogrom energy in the unenlightened Russian masses.
In the latter part of April riots took place in many villages of the Yelisavetgrad district and in several towns and townlets in the adjoining government of Kherson.

In the villages, the work of destruction was limited to the inns kept by Jews--many peasants believing that they were acting in accordance with imperial orders.

In the towns and townlets, all Jewish houses and stores were demolished and their goods looted.

In the town of Ananyev, in the government of Kherson, the people were incited by a resident named Lashchenko, who assured his townsmen that the central Government had given orders to massacre the Jews because they had murdered the Tzar, and that these orders were purposely kept back by the local administration.
