Pogrom.

Explanation:

Pogrom is a Russian word for riots or devastation. Pogrom is a mob attack on the property and person of a religious group or a race.

In the late 19th and early 20th twentieth centuries, Jews were attacked by the mob in the Russian Empire.

In 1811, Csar Alexander II, who was the emperor of Russia, was assassinated. The rumors spread that Jews were involved in the assassination. After this rumor, Jews were attacked by the Russian mob in more than 200 cities in Russia.

So, the correct answer is Pogrom.
