"Wula" is usually used as a modal particle to express strong feelings. The Soviet Union and Russia are used to using the slogan "Wula" in military parade, which is similar to the slogan "Good comrades, good leaders, comrades have worked hard and serve the people" in our military parade. In addition, when celebrating victory, or paying tribute to leaders at mass gatherings, "Ula" will also be used. In fact, the word "Ula" in Russian is not a Russian word, but was introduced by Russians of other cultures.
The source of ulla
One saying comes from "Tatar". Tatars mentioned by the ancients are not Tatars in Russia today, but refer to many tribes of Mongols. Europeans in the Middle Ages, including Russians, collectively referred to Mongols as Tatars. China also called "Tatar as Mongolia" in Biography of Ming History abroad. Warriors of medieval European countries were most afraid of their opponents in the war, that is, the nomadic people on horseback: Tatars.
In many European novels describing the wars in the Middle Ages, we can see the description of this scene: the terrible "Ola" sound and the swishing lasso sound suddenly sounded in the vilen, and everyone was pale, knowing that the terrible Khan army was coming and the invincible shepherd army was coming. Khan Army, Shepherd Army and Tatar are all European names for Mongolian tribes. Since Genghis Khan's time, the marching slogan "Hurree" of Mongolian army (pronounced "Wula") is also the source of Russian "Wula" in later generations.
The meaning of the word ulla
Professor Jack Weatherford, an American national historian, pointed out that the word "Wula" was originally a declaration that the Mongolian army spread to many places in Europe and Asia in the13rd century. The ancient Russians inherited this declaration of conquest, so "Ula" has been used ever since.
Another view is that "Wula" was originally a German marching slogan, which originated from the word "Wula" in Highland German. The prototype of "Hurra" is "Hurren", which means "fast marching". After the introduction of the Russians, it extended to victory. Because Germany has been the object of Russian military study for a long time in history, Russia introduced German military slogans.
