Sizonenko, A.I. Russia – Brazil: rich traditions, good present and perspectives for the future

Abstract: Review: The article is devoted to the sources, traditions and the current situation in the relations between Russia and the largest state in the South America – Brazil. The author points out the goodwill of both parties to cooperation and widening the scope of connections in all spheres. Special attention is paid to the meetings and negotiations of the leaders of the two states in the last two years, which took place in the atmosphere of mutual understanding and closeness of interests both in Russia and in Brazil. Lately Brazil is more and more often mentioned in Russia. This far and exotic state of the South America was visited by our leaders V.V. Putin and D.A. Medveded, and the Brazilian Presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Roussef. Brazil has became the main trade partner of Russia in this part of the world, and the states actively develop scientific and technical cooperation, which is in part due to the appearance of new forms of such cooperation, and scientific and cultural ties between two states also become stronger.
