Pogroms were violent riots and massacres launched against Jews
and frequently encouraged by government authorities.

It was, above all, Tsarist Russia that was associated with
pogroms. In Russia the whole period from about 1881-1917 was
charcterized by pogroms.
Nazi Germany staged the Night of the Broken Glass, but on the
whole preferred to avoid public disturbances when implementing its
anti-Jewish policies.
In 1941 there were pogroms in Romania, especially Bucharest and
Iasi, with Jews being beaten up and killed in the street.
One of the best know pogroms was that at Kishinev in 1903. See
the link.

where pogroms occurred in the Russian Empire.
