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*

*figure taken from government report on the Odessa pogrom

Nu, zayats, pogodi!
