From memory, Holhol is the abbreviation for the Russian word for a collective farm. My best guess is that Ukrainians were unfortunately forced to be the majority thereof.

for me it's not backward, but those who use the word mean it that way.
It's like calling someone "peasant". I have respect for peasants, but those who use that word in a derogatory way, mean that they are dumb and can't behave

Hohol = hairstyle.
Firstly, in Kievan Rus, the forelock on the head (aka hohol) symbolized belonging to a noble family. Secondly, in Russia there are quite a lot of non-judgmental geographical names dating back to this ethnonym: Khokhlovskaya Square and Khokhlovskiy Lane in Moscow, the village of Khokhly in the Voronezh Region, Khokhlovsky Creek in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, and some others.
