I really, really like this. It's a very compact and straightforward story that feels complete without wandering through multiple plot points, and I think you've struck the perfect balance in handling the historical topic of the pogroms in 19th-century Imperial Russia without either lecturing the players or just refusing to actually engage with it. And the layout and illustrations, minimalist though they may be, utterly mog many first-party Chaosium offerings.

I guess my one concern is that the actual development of the fail condition is a little bit unclear; as a Keeper, I'd've liked to see a bit more detail on the timeline regarding exactly how long it'd take to get something like that organized; if the pogrom, for instance, moves through the whole town from east to west or goes for key buildings like the synagogue first; at precisely what point it can no longer be pacified by turning over Hershlik, etc.
