In this video episode, we explore the use of the term "orcs" by Ukrainian victims of Russia's war. The term is familiar to readers of JRR Tolkien's epic novel "The Lord of the Rings" as the name given to monstrous anthropoids in his story. We delve into the origins of the word "orcs" in Old English literature and its connection to the undead. We also examine the impact of Kirill Eskov's retelling of Tolkien's work in Russia and the parallel it draws to Vladimir Putin's vision of Russia's war against the West. Join us as we explore the use of language in today's world.
