This study aims to make bibliography about the aspects of the Ukrainian immigration to Brazil, and verify, through Ukrainian descents reports, the reasons why immigrants have left Ukraine, the conditions of their journey until their destination and the ways they were established in Brazilian land. The relevance of this study is in the discussion and registration of the socio-historical aspects concerning about the arrival of Ukrainian immigrants to our country, specifically to the Center-South region of Paran and to Itapar community, located in Irati. Our study is based on the theoretical and methodological postulates of sociolinguistics, and having this in mind, after analyzing what was used in this theory, we considered relevant to have a field research, in which we gathered information through interviews with ten informants and also observation in loco.
