Brazil, including its government and citizens, featured in Russian reports on elections, international ties and fatal accidents. Gazeta.ru and other outlets reported that Flavio Bolsonaro and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva would contest an October 25 presidential runoff. Vzglyad relayed reports of a possible court review of Jair Bolsonaro’s conviction. Coverage also included debate over Brazil’s BRICS membership, Russian trade ties, and reports of beauty queens’ deaths in a lightning strike and a car crash.

Across 397 articles from 13 outlets over the last 30 days, Brazil was presented as neutral toward Russia in 372, friendly in 16 and hostile in 9. Where roles were assigned, it was cast as a partner in 26 articles, a threat in 10, a victim in 9, successful in 4 and declining in 1.

Argumenty i Fakty raised the possibility that Brazil could leave BRICS under Flavio Bolsonaro, while Lenta.ru and Life.ru carried analysts’ expectations that it would remain. Gazeta.ru quoted an economist predicting that a Bolsonaro victory would probably preserve trade with Russia but could affect political contacts. Lenta.ru carried 3 of the hostile-rated articles; Argumenty i Fakty carried 2.
