The mention of pogroms connects this song to "Tasseomancey". Specifically the young boy who died in a pogrom, his cradle was tipped over and he was burned... perhaps he is now the vampire.
It would make sense considering how he now curses his father, who in the song went to war for the Czar... causes of pogroms were quite arbitrary and maybe his father did something in the army that brought a pogrom upon their village. Or in the same vein he could be cursing his father for being Jewish, cursing his lineage in general.
