Хрюкраина

Russian

Alternative forms

Хрюкаи́на (Xrjukaína)

Etymology

From хрю (xrju, “oink, sound of a pig”) +‎ Украи́на (Ukraína). 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 or Ukrainians in general with pigs (as opposed to merely pig-eaters).
