During the Denikin regime, the press regularly urged violence against Jews. A proclamation by one of Denikin's generals incited people to "arm themselves" to extirpate "the evil force which lives in the hearts of Jew-communists." In the small town of Fastov alone, Denikin's Volunteer Army murdered over 1,500 Jews, mostly the elderly, women, and children. An estimated 100,000 to 200,000 Jews in Ukraine and southern Russia were killed in pogroms perpetrated by Denikin's forces and Symon Petliura's Ukrainian nationalists [1]. Hundreds of thousands of Jews were left homeless and tens of thousands became victims of serious illness [1]. In 1918-1919, over 1,200 pogroms took place in Ukraine, over a third of them attributed to the Ukrainian nationalists [2], while half by the White army [3]. Sources: [1] Pipes, Richard (1994).
