The Alfonse pogrom (in Polish, Pogrom alfonsów 'pogrom of the pimps'; the Polish slang term alfons means 'pimp'; 24–26 May 1905) was a three-day riot in Warsaw, Poland. The violence led to the destruction of several dozen brothels, and to as many as 15 deaths. Accounts and analyses of the event differ with regard to its goals and participants (varying as to the participation of Jewish Bund labor-party militants, Jewish workers, Christian workers, and criminals; as well as to the genesis of the event and the exact numbers of casualties).
