Summary
At noon on 19 April (Easter Sunday) 1903, to the accompaniment of a peal of church bells, drunkenness turned to rioting in Kishinev (now known as Chișinău, in modern day Moldova). Kishinev had a large Jewish population (at nearly 50,000, almost half the town), but over the nineteenth century, it had endured waves of anti-Semitic hatred that spanned all of imperial Russia.
