— Brazilians, you do not understand the impact of Brazilian culture on Russian culture. I already made a video about how the soap opera “Escrava Isaura” changed life in the Soviet Union forever. But I wanted to talk about another Brazilian soap opera which is also extremely famous in Russia. It was broadcast on Russian television around fifteen times. It’s old, but people still watch it, until now: “The clone” — Olga said in the video.
The influencer explained that the main holiday in Russia is New Year and the Christmas tree in Russia is called the New Year tree because it is decorated for New Year’s Eve.
— And just so you can imagine how big and famous “The Clone” is in Russia. I brought you these new decorations for the New Year tree, which are all the rage in Russia. The crowd is going crazy — said the influencer, showing decorations in the shape of the characters Jade (Giovanna Antonelli), Lucas (Murilo Benício), Said (Dalton Vigh), Nazira (Eliane Giardini) and Dona Jura (Solange Couto).
Originally broadcast in 2001 in Brazil, “The Clone” was one of Glória Perez’s biggest hits and marked an era of impossible romance between Jade, a young Muslim woman raised according to strict Moroccan traditions, and Lucas, a Brazilian torn between his beloved and his family’s expectations. Alongside the romantic plot, the soap opera addresses the controversial subject of human cloning through the scientist Albieri (Juca de Oliveira), who cloned the protagonist after the death of his twin brother, Diogo, an experience that gave life to Leo, also played by Murilo Benício.
