How Brazilian telenovelas became part of Soviet and Russian pop culture.
Olga is Russian and lives in Brazil, where she films in Portuguese for a Brazilian audience. Her videos compare everyday life in the two countries: city guides to Brasília, Porto Alegre and Florianópolis, Brazilian food and drink tasted by Russians, and her own Portuguese test. Some episodes explain Russia to Brazilians, such as the history of Brazilian telenovelas on Soviet and Russian television. Her most viewed videos include a friend's first impressions after moving from Russia to Brazil.
