Perhaps you are trying to blame Russians for the pogroms that didn't happen in Russia?

I didn't blame the Russians for any pogroms on this thread.

The February revolution removed the pale and made Jews free, and they repaid with overthrowing Provisional government.

So between Feburary and October 1917, the Jews moved enmasse to Moscow, raised an army and overthrew the Kerensky government? Do you really believe something so absurd?

The fact is that most Jews (or at least, the small number who had any interest in Russian politics at all) supported the Kerensky government.

One could interpret your "Duh" as a suggestions that the same would have happened in Russia.

It does sound absurd if your scenario is the only one conceivable. The fact that the overwhelming majority of the Bolsheviks in Lenin's government were Jewish is sufficient to realize who were the main Bolsheviks supporters and ideologues.
