After assassination attempts and attacks on Soviet officials, the government announced the Red Terror, authorizing mass arrests, executions and hostage-taking against designated political opponents. The campaign institutionalized state violence. The White forces also used terror and pogroms; acknowledging that context does not erase the responsibility of Soviet authorities for their own repression.
