The political process in Brazil. Essay.
A few decades ago, many people in Russia either did not know anything about Brazil (except for the name), or could get information about this country by reading a book by Ilf and Petrov (where the main character was mentioning Brazil).
While the people of Russia were passionate about their own problems, Brazil became one of the fastest developing countries in the world.
A competitive political process puts forward outstanding leaders. In Russia, the names of the current President Jair Bolsonaro and former presidents Dilma Rousseff and Lulu da Silva are widely known (although not a very detailed information is coming).
The life of the presidents in Brazil is not very simple - the legal apparatus works powerfully and even aggressively.
There are prosecutions, impeachments, and political scandals.
Nevertheless, Brazil is characterized by competing political programs, really competing political leaders.
Former President Lula da Silva was recently released from custody. He was accused of corruption crimes - if to look on the information that reaches the "simple" resident of Russia.

Apparently, such periods happen in the history of any country - when complex events is coming as a flow.
To top it all off, the media recently reported the trauma President Jair Bolsonaro.
We wish him a good health and recovery!
Whatever it is, Brazil has a competitive political system, an effective legal apparatus, a developing economy, and competing leaders. These leaders put forward competing programs and compete for voter support in competitive elections.
Political experience is accumulating.
How stable has Brazil become on a path of effective development?
Maybe Dilma Rousseff, Lula da Silva, Jair Bolsonaro, other political leaders of Brazil do not agree with each other, maybe (in modern Brazil) they have a different political weight and a different political reputation, but the fact is that in a relatively short time Brazil gained a worthy political history and a worthy political reputation.
A powerful country is developing before our eyes ...
