I heard that word when I was growing up.  It was a derogatory term the
Germans gave the Russians or Poles.  One Mujik or plural Mujiken.
The J was pronounced with a soft "g" like Zsa Zsa

I don't think that is the meaning of the term. I think we should ask 
Virginia Less what she understands the meaning to be.
