The pogrom activity of the bands assumed a specially dangerous scope in the month of July [1919]in the governments of Podolia, Kiev and Volhynia, Kiev suffering most as in the proceding month. It has been exactly established that the number of pogroms in the government of Kiev during the month in question was 26, in Volhynia 8, in Podolia 13. In the Government of Kiev the accursed work was done by the bands, in the two other governments the regular troops of Petlura also participated.
Of new districts which had hitherto been spared, the first to be affected was the circuit Pogrebische, in which pogroms were instituted in Borshchagovka on the 3rd of July; in Dzunkov on the 5th; in Novo-Fastov on the 11th; in Volodarka and a number of neighboring villages on the 2nd, 9th, and 11th. To the west of these places near the boundary of Volhynia, the pogromists were in Priluki on the 4th of July; in Vakhnovka on the 8th; in Turbov on the 9th and in Kalinovka on the 14th. In the district of Sokolov-Rosheva a Jewish massacre took place on the 3rd of July; in Makarov on the 6th; in Brussilov on the 5th; in Kornip on the 9th; in Yassnogorodka on the 15th. In the sphere of activity of the Batko Zeleny, pogroms took place in Rzhischev on the 1st and 13th of July. In the circuit of Tarascha the pogrom heroes distringuished themselves on the 2nd of July in Boyarki, on the 11th to the 24th in Koshevatoie. Finally at the end of the month, on the 29th of July, a new blood bath took palce in Uman.

This figure, however, does not by any means give a correct idea of the actual number of persons who perished. No account is taken in the above figures of the many victims who gave up their lives in places that could not be recorded because there has not been any connection with them so far and no investigations in those regions have yet been made, as for example in the western parts of the Governments of Volhynia and Podolia, in the southern part of the Government of Kherson, etc. Nor have those missing Jewish families been included who were exterminated in numerous villages and hamletts, or those who were killed during their flight from their ruined homes as they wandered from place to place, or those who were pulled out of railway trains and beaten to death, or those who were drowned by being thrown out of steamers, or those who were killed in the woods and the highways. There is no account taken of the great numbers of those who succumbed to their injuries and fell victims of contagious and other diseases which they contracted during their imprisonment in dark rooms without food, drink or clothing.
