Why the fuck would everyday Russians use dollars in the first place two years after the currency was rendered useless in Russia?

Honestly I know this is going to sound schizo af, but I think I invented the orc thing. I was raging about the Ukraine war early on when it started especially about all the stupid fucking Harry Potter shit that was going around, and I said to a friend yeah the Ukrainians are just innocent little hobbits compared to the Russian orcs. I suddenly started seeing the phrase everywhere after that.
The Last Ringbearer came out in 1999. It was a Russian LOTR fanfiction from the perspective of Mordor. In it the “orcs” are just normal humans who are dehumanized by the men of the west. It was a pretty big deal in the former USSR. So it probably wasn’t you.
In this war the term Orc was popularized by an english tweet from Azov about greasing up their bullets to deal with Chechen orcs. So originally the term orc only applied to Chechens (and probably other Muslims in the Russian Federation).
So much lore Jesus Christ
He freed you be thankfull
Anyways I wasn’t ungrateful for the information I was just genuinely amazed by the amount of racist lore
From my paranoid delusions? Pretty sure I’m stuck with those forever
