Antisemitism In Ukraine
Antisemitism in Ukraine has been a historical issue in the country, particularly in the twentieth century. The history of the Jewish community of the region dates back to the era when ancient Greek colonies existed in it. A third of the Jews of Europe previously lived in Ukraine between 1791 and 1917, within the Pale of Settlement. The large concentration of Jews in this region historically made them an easy target for anti-Jewish actions and pogroms. Antisemitism in recent years has seen an increase in the country."Anti-Semitism in Ukraine-2018." Before the 20th century In 1113, there was a possible pogrom. After the death of a certain unpopular prince who had a monopoly on the salt trade, Ukrainian peasants may have attacked Jewish homes because of merchants who had benefited.

Black Hundreds
The Black Hundred (russian: Чёрная сотня, translit=Chornaya sotnya), also known as the black-hundredists (russian: черносотенцы; chernosotentsy), was a reactionary, monarchist and ultra-nationalist movement in Russia in the early 20th century. It was a staunch supporter of the House of Romanov and opposed any retreat from the autocracy of the reigning monarch. The name apparently arose from the Medieval concept of "black", or common (non-noble) people, organized into militias. The Black Hundreds were also noted for extremism and incitement to pogroms, nationalistic Russocentric doctrines, and different xenophobic beliefs, including anti-Ukrainian sentiment and anti-semitism. The ideology of the movement is based on a slogan formulated by Count Sergey Uvarov "Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality". Pre-formation ''"Svjashchjennaja druzhina"'' (Священнaя дружинa, or The Holy Brigade) and " Russkoye sobraniye" (Русское собрани ...
