Berezovič 2007, 426-428, 456-459, Berezovič, Gulik 2002. Usually dialectal or/and sub-standart words. In literary language Russian прусак, Belarusan прусак, Serbian бубашваба, буба рус, Czech šváb, Slovak šváb, Latvian prusaks. Most frequent are Russian (11), Swabian (8), Prussian (7), German (3) and French (3). German names of cockroaches probably related to the events of The Seven Years' War (1756–1763). Also Swabian probably under influence of German Schabe, Küchenschabe ‘cockroach’ (compare Schwabe ‘Swabian’).
During the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines, which called for the killing of the Tutsi people, used the Kinyarwanda word inyenzi 'cockroach' to refer to the Tutsi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide. In 2006, massive protests by Iranian Azerbaijanis sparked newspaper cartoons in which cockroaches spoke Azerbaijani http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_newspaper_cockroach_cartoon_controversy; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5008420.stm.
Also compare Australian English cockroach ‘a person from New South Wales’ (slang, derogatory, humorous)
