| Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to advance the study of possible relationships between the emergence of the Cold War and the political repression that took place in Brazil in the immediately after the Second World War. The article examines the hypothesis that there were both endogenous and exogenous origins of the political repression. Furthermore, it supports the idea that the Brazilian elites, faced with the deterioration of the wartime alliances, returned to their conservatism and traditional anticommunism. As result, the registration of Communist Party was cancelled, the working-class movement and other popular organizations were severely repressed, the press was censured and even progressive military groups and suspected left-wing diplomats became targets of repression.<br>O prop&oacute;sito deste texto &eacute; estudar as poss&iacute;veis rela&ccedil;&otilde;es entre a emerg&ecirc;ncia da Guerra Fria e a repress&atilde;o pol&iacute;tica ocorrida no Brasil no imediato p&oacute;s II Guerra Mundial. O artigo trabalha com a hip&oacute;tese de que as ra&iacute;zes dessa repress&atilde;o pol&iacute;tica s&atilde;o tanto end&oacute;genas quanto ex&oacute;genas. Al&eacute;m disso, defende a id&eacute;ia de que t&atilde;o logo as rela&ccedil;&otilde;es envolvendo a grande alian&ccedil;a da II Guerra Mundial deterioraram as elites brasileiras retornaram ao seu conservadorismo e tradicional anticomunismo. Como resultado, o registro do partido comunista foi cancelado, o movimento oper&aacute;rio e outras organiza&ccedil;&otilde;es populares foram duramente reprimidos, a imprensa foi censurada e mesmo grupos militares progressistas e diplomatas supostamente vinculados &agrave; esquerda tornaram-se alvos da repress&atilde;o. |
