It was coined before the civil war, but it spread as a term used outside of Russia because of the civil war.

Could you cite that please? It isn't that I don't believe you I just want to know where you learned it.

Looks like I misremembered. It was popularized following the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.

There were a LOT of pogroms during the Russian Civil War, like 1,500 just from 1918-1920.
