[edit] "Pogroms were fueled in part by Jewish support of the Bolsheviks and their participation in the Red administration's repressive organizations, such as the Cheka."

The above-quoted text from this article is purely opinion and is unsupported by any sourcing. Any reason why it should not be deleted? I'll remove it for now pending a response.

[edit] The portion on the pogroms during Denikin's retreat

The paragraph on the pogrom's committed by Denikin's army essentially consisted of an argument for his defense, not an objective history.

I cut the most POV sentences from it, but it needs a rewrite. Solzhynetsin, while a brilliant and courageous man, is not objective enough to be the only source.

I'll look for multiple sources and add what I find (with footnotes)...

Your version is far from being objective either. Why painting Denikin as a pogroms mastermind and hiding the fact that majority of pogroms was done by Makhno or Petlyura? Your own sources confirm this.

As for Solzhenitsin he was only quoting another research (By Naum Gergel) :

out of an estimated 887 mass pogroms, about 40% were perpetrated by the Ukrainian forces led by Symon Petliura, 25% by the Ukrainian Green Army and various Ukrainian nationalist gangs, 17% by the White Army, especially the forces of Anton Denikin, and 8.5% by the Red Army.

[edit] With the White Army faring poorly, more interested in taking booty than in fighting the Red Army...

This is hardly an accurate (I would say, rather objective) description of the the White Army at the time of Denikin's resignation (March 1920). The situation in the Crimea was far from being desperate and the White Army's morale and discipline was on the rise. VMX 20:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
