Abstract
This paper is a factual reconstitution of the relationship between the First Brazilian Republic and the Russian Empire (1889–1917), dealing with aspects such as the Russian recognition of the Brazilian Republic (1892), the trade and political relations, cultural and scientific exchange, immigration and the impact of the two 1917 Russian Revolutions on the bilateral relationship. Based on the primary sources (Brazilian diplomatic archives) and the relevant bibliography on the subject, the paper aims to analyze to what extent the ideological factor, expressed by the dynastic solidarity between the Romanovs and the Orléans e Bragança and by the opposition between the monarchical and republican conceptions of government, represented a determining factor for the bilateral relations between Brazil and Russia during the period. Besides, the research seeks to highlight other elements that have played a role (trade, cultural and scientific exchange, and immigration) in the dynamics of the interactions between Rio de Janeiro and St. Petersburg, notwithstanding the geographical distance between them.
