While the pogrom was going on, troops were marching up and down on the streets of the Podol district, Cossaks were riding about on their horses, and patrols on foot and horse-back were moving to and fro. Here and there army officers would pass through, among them generals and high civil officials. The cavalry would hasten to a place whence the noise came.
As was to be expected, "the efforts of the police and troops were unable to stop the disorders," and only after completing their day's work the rioters fled, pursued by lashes and shots from the Cossaks. The Russian censorship strictly barred all references to the pogroms in the newspapers, for fear of spoiling the solemnity of the coronation days.
The others admitted their disgrace in private or concealed it altogether, for fear of ruining their reputation. It was only on April 27 when the pogrom broke out afresh that the authorities resolved to put a stop to it. Wherever a disorderly band made its appearance, it was immediately surrounded by soldiers and Cossaks and driven off with the butt ends of their rifles.
