"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, and its function is similar to the military parade slogan "Comrades are good, leaders are good, 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 Russian word "Wula" is not a Russian word, but is introduced by Russians from other cultures.
The source of ulla
One saying is that it comes from "Tatar". The Tatars mentioned by the ancients are not the Tatars in Russia today, but refer to many tribes of the Mongols. Europeans in the Middle Ages, including Russians, collectively referred to Mongols as Tatars. In China's Biography of Ming History Abroad, it is also called "Tatar is Mongolia". The warriors of European countries in the Middle Ages were most afraid of their opponents in the war, namely 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 horrible "Oola" sound and the whooshing lasso sound suddenly sounded in the Yuan Ye, and everyone turned pale, knowing that the terrible Khan army was coming, and the invincible shepherd army was coming. Khan's army, shepherd's army and Tatar are all European terms for Mongolian tribes. From the era of Genghis Khan, the marching slogan of the Mongolian army "Hurree" (pronounced "Wula") is also the source of Russian "Wula" in later generations.
The meaning of the word ulla
Professor Jack Weatherford, an American ethnohistorian, pointed out that the word "Wula" was originally a declaration word spread to many places in Europe and Asia by the Mongolian army in the13rd century. The ancient Russians inherited this declaration of conquest, so "Ula" has been used to this day.
Another view is that "Wula" was originally the marching slogan of the German army, which came from the word "hurra" in Highland German. The original form of "Hurra" is "Hurren", which means "fast marching". After the introduction of the Russians, it extended to victory. Because Germany has long been the object of Russian military study in history, Russia introduced German military slogans.
