On an unrelated note... why do you call yourself "the pogromist" ... ?

As far as I know, a pogrom (Russian: погро́м) is a "violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group, particularly Jews" (Source: Wikipedia).

It sounds similar to programmer (programist) in russian

Hoping for a case of:

"I had no idea and thought the word sounded cool"

I'm assuming it's because pogromist is similar to programist, which is Russian for programmer. Also, pogrom is not always used in the context of massacring ethnic groups, and stands for riots and chaos in general

I'd like to hear OP's take before I try his extension.

He did answer with the same thing I did, although in a somewhat confusing way

I can see now, why Russian literature excels at tragedy and not so much in comedy.
