The "ethnicity", especially when we are talking about Russian/Ukrainian difference is quite a fuzzy term. For most of Russians (including Ukrainians) "Ukrainian" ("Borderlander") is more geographic and political term rather than the ethnical. Like "Californian" for Americans.Russian speaking, doesn't imply a Russian ethnicity in e.g. Ukraine or the Baltic states. FSB interrogators in Odessa?
And yes, there will be political and anti-sabotage cleanings in Odessa after it liberation by the Russian Army.
Of course Germany already existed.Nonsense - it was a pure Czarist Russia pogrom - and a Germany didn't even exist then.
And the most of Jews survived those pogroms. The absolute majority of the Jews killed in Odessa by Germans, Rumanians and their Ukrainian collaborants had been living in Odessa for many generation.How many Jewish people from all over Russia migrated into Odessa after and during the pogroms till 1942, I wouldn't know. Pogroms in Odessa - 1821, 1859, 1871, 1881 and 1905.
