This article discusses the two principal parties representing the St&amp;aacute;linist tradition in our country: PCB and PC do B. The Brazialian Cmmunist Party (PCB), established in 1922, was hegemonic among Brazilian leftists for decades and was the hardcore of Marxism in our country. This party embodied the concepts of a Marxist-Leninist party and the prevailing theory and political culture of the international communist movement when St&amp;aacute;lin defeated Trotsky within the URSS Communist Party and the Third International Socialist Association. Evidently there are other organizations and groups pervaded by the St&amp;aacute;linist tradition. Our analysis, however, will be restricted to PCB and to PC do B, trying to understand their political and ideological transformations and their reactions to the impact of the events in Eastern Europe: the overcoming or the maintenance of the St&amp;aacute;linist tradition.<br>Este artigo trata dos principais partidos que representam a tradi&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o stalinista em nosso pa&amp;iacute;s: o PCB e o PC do B. O Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB), fundado em 1922, foi hegem&amp;ocirc;nico na esquerda brasileira durante d&amp;eacute;cadas e se constituiu no tronco principal do marxismo em nosso Pa&amp;iacute;s. Este partido incorporou a concep&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o de partido marxista-leninista e a teoria e cultura pol&amp;iacute;ticas prevalecentes no movimento comunista internacional com a vit&amp;oacute;ria de St&amp;aacute;lin contra Trotsky no seio do Partido Comunista da URSS e da III Internacional. Evidentemente, h&amp;aacute; outras organiza&amp;ccedil;&amp;otilde;es e grupos permeados pela tradi&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o stalinista. Aqui, nos limitaremos &amp;agrave; an&amp;aacute;lise do PCB e o PC do B, procurando apreender suas mudan&amp;ccedil;as pol&amp;iacute;ticas e ideol&amp;oacute;gicas e rea&amp;ccedil;&amp;otilde;es ao impacto dos acontecimentos no Leste Europeu, isto &amp;eacute;, os elementos de supera&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o e manuten&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o da tradi&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o stalinista.
