The soap opera industry in Brazil has an impressive history and rich tradition. The very first series did not go on TV at all, but were broadcast on the radio. Today, the main supplier of Brazilian television content is the Globo company, which is the second most popular after American ABC.
Behind Globo's shoulders are the best representatives of this industry, where the important authors of their time worked on the series: Janet Clare, Gloria Perez, Manuel Carlus, Benedito Rui Barbosa and others. The Russians got acquainted with the work of these people in the 90s of the last century. Brazilian series have been a stunning success with our compatriots and have become an integral part of the childhood and youth of entire generations.
