Since this
bazaar was actually built at the end of the 1890's,
by architect Arkady Todorov, the name of this bazaar,
"New market" shows the persons who named
this bazaar were a little short sighted.
A small
bazaar, it is the closest food bazaar to the center.

Two pogrom's began at this bazaar, one in 1871 and
one in 1881. A Pogrom is an organized, often
officially encouraged massacre or persecution of a
minority group, especially one conducted against Jews.
The Odessa marketplace, situated in the center of
the city was witness to the pogroms of 1871 and 1881.
Throughout the market, Jews were beaten, stalls,
stands and shops were raided, goods stolen or destroyed.
The pogrom spread to all the parts of the city where
Jews lived or where they had shops, workshops, educational
institutions and synagogues.
Thugs burst into houses owned by Jews, broke windows,
forced doors open, shattered furniture and ripped
open pillows and feather beds, a traditional element
of pogroms.
According to eye witnesses, the feathers covered
the streets. The government did not always send in
the army or police in time, and representatives of
the government even unambiguously stated that the
Jews themselves had provoked the pogroms because they
were taking all the places in educational institutions,
playing an increasingly dominant role in the economic
development of the city and region, and were in general
becoming a threat to the Orthodox Christian population
and to state security.
