Свинорейх

Russian

Etymology

From свинья́ (svinʹjá, “pig”) +‎ -о- (-o-) +‎ рейх (rejx, “Reich”). Russian jokes often stereotype Ukrainians as eating salo (salted pig fat); after the War in Donbas and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, in Russian nationalist discourse, this portrayal progressed to a dehumanizing association of enemy Ukrainian soldiers with pigs (as opposed to merely pig-eaters).
