Read this with great interest, it gives me more insight into Brazil. If you're interested, my thoughts on it are as follows:
- I believe that as long as the cartels exist Brazil is very vulnerable to outside interference, especially from the US, and I'm almost 100% sure that they are taking advantage of this opportunity by providing access to weapons and money, intelligence, forming strings to pressure and control your country, in other words, Brazil's national security is breached.
- After the bankruptcy of the USSR, Russia in the 90's was a hellish miserable dump where literally all spheres of life degraded, enterprises and factories closed down, money stopped being paid, people lost food, supervisory bodies disappeared, cheap heavy drugs (and with them AIDS) from Afghanistan appeared, a mass of swindlers (for the naive Soviet mind), - all this became freely available and in huge quantities - the soil on which armed groups and total corruption instantly grew. Oligarchs seized power, in many cases illegally privatizing former Soviet property. Murders of businessmen, murders on the streets have become the norm. Two wars in Chechnya, one of which Russia lost and separatist sentiments in some regions of Russia - these were all realities of the 90s. And then Putin came.
- Putin came to power as a liberal politician, a follower of Yeltsin's ideology, who saw Russia as a democratic and moderately liberal country, he saw Russia as a member of the European Union and NATO. But when he took the president's chair and opened the first folder with documents, he realized that his ideas were more or less untenable. (He may have suspected this earlier, as director of the FSB, but now he is finally convinced of it). The next day, several oligarchs came to the Kremlin and informed him in a not very formal form that Putin was nobody here and if they wanted, then a more comfortable president would sit in this chair, so Vladimir Putin should cooperate with them. For Putin, this effectively became a declaration of war.

Putin destroyed everything that undermined Russia's stability: Russian Russian separatists and minority nationalists, armed groups of bandits, parallel corrupt government structures, Russian Nazis, Chechen terrorists supported by the United States, opposition parties sponsored from the United States, foreign agents, fugitive Russian spies abroad and oligarchs — some of them were imprisoned or killed, and he forbade those oligarchs who survived to participate in politics or finance political movements in any way, otherwise they would lose business by reviewing the results of privatization, in fact, he also made them an unwitting tool of the FSB to create economic confusion in the CIA's assessment of the Russian economy (by the way, this one of the reasons why Western sanctions against Russia failed, he used them to hide the real economy of Russia). He also took all the most important and critical enterprises into state ownership (for example, the Kalashnikov Concern, Rosatom, Roscosmos and many others).

At some point, he simply realized that certain liberal mechanisms would destroy the country under external or internal threats, none of the existing models of political governance suited Russia, so a completely new Putin system of power was born. As the Western media of those years called it: "Authoritarian democracy." High internal stability and external national security, yes, this has its limitations, but Russia has become a pretty decent country even in comparison with Western countries, including the United States. Russia is a very effective hybrid of right-wing and left-wing ideas.

Obviously, Brazil is also difficult, so I believe that Brazil does not need a left-wing or right-wing politician, Brazil needs a universal patriot who knows how to adapt to the realities of his state. In fact, creating a universal society in which everyone will be moderately comfortable.
