Ura has no specific meaning in Russian, and is usually used as a modal particle to express strong feelings. Russian officers and soldiers usually shout "Wula" when charging, which is often translated as "Long live" in China. Russia is also used to using the slogan "Wula" during military parade.

"Hula" was originally a German marching slogan, which came from the word "hurra" in Highland German. The prototype of "Hurra" is "Hurren", which means "fast marching". After the introduction of the Russians, it extended to victory. Germany has long been the object of Russian military study in history, so it is very possible for Russia to introduce German military slogans.
