Pogroms were targeted, anti-Jewish riots that began in Russia during the 19th century. Rampant anti-semitism began when Russia acquired territories that had large numbers of Jews. From the beginning, Russia restricted movement of the Jews, confining them to specific areas unless they converted to Orthodox Christianity.
