Menurut Encyclopædia Britannica,[1] pogrom ([po.grom] daripada Rusia: погро́м "mengapa-apakan") merujuk kepada keganasan anti-Yahudi dalam Empayar Rusia pada lewat abad ke-19 dan abad ke-20, di mana maksud tersebut dilanjutkan kepada sebarang serangan, perompakan dan kemusnahan harta benda milik masyarakat tersebut sepanjang sejarah.[2][3][4] Namun, istilah ini kini juga dipakai merujuk kepada kejadian-kejadian serupa terhadap kelompok-kelompok lain, yang umumnya adalah kelompok minoriti dalam sesebuah masyarakat.

The common usage of the term pogrom to describe any attack against Jews throughout history disguises the great variation in the scale, nature, motivation, and intent of such violence at different times.
Most contemporaries claimed that the pogroms were directed against Jewish property, not against Jews, a claim so far not contradicted by research.
The pogroms themselves seem to have largely followed a set of unwritten rules. They were directed against Jewish property only.
