Where this word comes from
Acronym of União das Repúblicas Socialistas da América Latina (“Union of the Socialist Republics of Latin America”). It is also related to urso + -al, meaning ursal, bearish (“of or relating to bears”), referring to bears being a stereotype of the Soviet Union and Russia. This term was originally coined as a satire in 2001 by Brazilian sociologist Maria Lúcia Victor Barbosa. In 2006, it was treated seriously as a conspiracy theory in an article for the Jornal do Comércio (Journey of Commerce) by Brazilian writer Olavo de Carvalho. In 2018, the conspiracy theory was popularized in Brazil by presidential candidate Cabo Daciolo.
