This article is an overview of the immediate impacts, between 1917 and 1930, of the Russian Revolution among Brazilian intelligentsia. In a reduced scenario of literates, where the national press was precarious and of dubious quality and where the editorial market was organized strictly through imports and rare local writings and translations, the first impacts of the 1917 Russian Revolution were seen in labour movements, mostly among urban centers (São Paulo, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Salvador …) and illiterate people, and was already born with the references of the international socialist and social democratic movement. Even though they came to Brazil in a diffuse and precarious way, the events from Russia, especially that of 1917, became a more constant reference and object of diffusion and propaganda.
