The way I've seen the "orc" term in use ("ziggers" is a new one to me), it's always been applied to individuals carrying out acts of aggression on Ukrainian territory. Or perhaps their active helpers on the homefront (those otherwise engaged in and supporting that aggression directly). Not against Russians as a people. Then again I wouldn't know from discussions on Reddit, as I can barely stand to look for more than a few seconds at any of the political content there. (None of this is in reference to the paper, which of course talks about much broader issues, and doesn't refer to the "orc" term at all).
