[lbo-talk] Noam Chomsky, right

[Chris Doss]

I went to the trouble of looking at the actually death
figures for the 1905 pogrom, and, as it turns out,
with the big exception of the Odessa pogrom, Chomsky
was basically correct.

Representative figures taken from "Chyornaya Sotnya"
(Black Hundreds), by S. Stepanov (derived from
hospital, funeral, and government records at the
time).

Loss of life in all the Russian Empire: 1622

Cities:

Kiev          68
Baku          51
Kishenev      53
Vilno          9
Ekaterinslav  68
Minsk         52
Orsh          28
Saratov        8
Simferopol    42
Tomsk         68
Tiflis        36
Tula          22
Odessa       618*
