Ukrainians Calling Russian Invaders “Orcs”

As a nod to “ruscism”, I also thought it would be interesting to note another relatively recent usage that seems very clear from Tolkien.

There may be broader connections to Russia/Mordor, according to some Googling, however I don’t know how widespread the use was back then. However, it seems to be very common right now. See here, here, or here.
