 This issue begins with today´s Brazil section containing three articles. The first one analyses the Brazilian approaches to BRICS in different historical periods.The authors Evgueny M. Astakhov y Elena V. Astakhova regard Brazil´s initiative role in advancing the very  BRICS concept and in consolidating of this group as from its birth.  The ongoing Brazilian policy towards BRICS is given a deep insight, particularly, the period after Jair Bolsonaro´s election as president, whose figure is associated with the right turn in Brazil foreign policy.  Brazil´s simultaneous membership in IBSA and BRICS geopolitical projects is the topic of the second paper by Olga G. Leonova where having evaluated the last BRICS summit results, held in Brazil in November 2019, and made a comparative analysis of the IBSA and BRICS relevance for Brazil, the author concludes that Brazil will continue as a member of BRICS as long as this group has a status of dialogue forum. Should it be institutionalized, it is highly probable that Brazil will decide on the politically neutral IBSA. The third article of this section concerns the Brazilian identity evolution through the prism of the language. The author, Olga Yu.

Abramova studies the evangelists’, particularly, neo – Pentecostals’ impact on the today's political life in Latin America and reports her conclusions that in all Latin American countries the neo –Pentecostals have become highly relevant political actors as they meet the new moral and ethic needs of the people who disagrees with liberal gender agenda. The author offers a classification of the Latin American Countries according the neo – Pentecostals ranking in the respective political processes.
