| Summary: | In this article we will discuss the organization of the communists in the Paraíba region of Rio de Janeiro, specifically in the municipalities of Barra Mansa, Volta Redonda, Barra do Piraí and Piraí before the 1964 civil-military coup. A large concentration of workers due, among other industries, to the presence of CSN (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional), the largest steelmaker in Latin America, the basis of the national development policy of the Getúlio Vargas government. Because of this concentration of workers, the PCB sought to establish itself in order to create party bases. Also for this reason, the First Armored Infantry Battalion (1st BIB) was installed in Barra Mansa, in order to protect the industrial facilities of the region. The presence of the 1st BIB in the daily life of the inhabitants of these municipalities was a fundamental factor in supporting the civil-military coup and repressing its opponents, among them the communists. |
