The first syllable, po-, is a prefix indicating "means" or "target". The word therefore seems to imply a sudden burst of energy (thunderbolt) directed at a specific target. A pogrom is generally thought of as a cross between a popular riot and a military atrocity, where an unarmed civilian, often urban, population is attacked by either an army unit or peasants from surrounding villages, or a combination of the two.}}</ref> <ref name="antisemitism">{{cite book |editor-last=Bostom |editor-first=Andrew G. |date=2007 |title=The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History}}</ref> <ref name="Atlantic">{{cite news |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/06/world-war-ii-before-the-war/100089/ |title=World War II: Before the War |work=[[The Atlantic]] |date=19 June 2011 |quote=Windows of shops owned by Jews which were broken during a coordinated anti-Jewish demonstration in Berlin, known as Kristallnacht, on November 10, 1938.

Its international currency dates back to the anti-Semitic excesses in Tsarist Russia during the years 1881–1883, but the phenomenon existed in the same form at a much earlier date and was by no means confined to Russia. As John D. Klier points out in his seminal article "The pogrom paradigm in Russian history", the anti-Semitic pogroms in Russia were described by contemporaries as demonstrations, persecution, or struggle, and the government made use of the term besporiadok (unrest, riot) to emphasize the breach of public order. Then, during the twentieth century, the term began to develop along two separate lines. In the Soviet Union, the word lost its anti-Semitic connotation and came to be used for reactionary forms of political unrest and, from 1989, for outbreaks of interethnic violence; while in the West, the anti-Semitic overtones were retained and government orchestration or acquiescence was emphasized.}}</ref> <ref name="Bergmann2">Bergmann writes that "the concept of "ethnic violence" covers a range of heterogeneous phenomena, and in many cases there are still no established theoretical and conceptual distinctions in the field (Waldmann, 1995:343)" Bergmann then goes on to set out a variety of conflicting scholarly views on the definition and usage of the term pogrom.</ref> <ref name="bookrags">{{cite book|url=http://www.bookrags.com/research/tragic-week-sjel-02/ |title=Tragic Week Summary |publisher=BookRags.com |date=2 November 2010 |access-date=24 October 2011}}</ref> <ref name="books1">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0HDeEPouQm0C&pg=PT193 |title=Pogroms and Riots: German Press Responses to Anti-Jewish Violence in Germany and Russia (1881–1882) |first=Sonja |last=Weinberg |publisher=[[Peter Lang (publisher)|Peter Lang]] |year=2010 |isbn=978-3-631-60214-0 |page=193 |quote=Most contemporaries claimed that the pogroms were directed against Jewish property, not against Jews, a claim so far not contradicted by research.}}</ref> <ref name="books2">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FzqDDAAAQBAJ&pg=PT165 |title=Religious Violence Between Christians and Jews: Medieval Roots, Modern Perspectives |first1=John D. |last1=Klier |first2=Anna Sapir |last2=Abulafia |author2-link=Anna Abulafia |publisher=Springer |year=2001 |isbn=978-1-4039-1382-1 |page=165 |quote=The pogroms themselves seem to have largely followed a set of unwritten rules.

The term was especially associated with Eastern Europe and the Russian Empire, the scene of the most serious outbreaks of anti-Jewish violence before the Holocaust. Yet when applied indiscriminately to events in Eastern Europe, the term can be misleading, the more so when it implies that "pogroms" were regular events in the region and that they always shared common features.
