Abstract
Second and last part of the interview with Anita Prestes, granted during her stay in Mossoró / RN, in September 2018, and initially published by Revista Informação e Cultura - RIC in the previous edition, when we highlight her interaction with her mother's memory, the German Olga Benário Prestes. In this excerpt of the conversation, she reveals to us the circumstances that were reflected in the biography of her father, Luís Carlos Prestes, the discipline of training at Colégio Militar and the persistent dream of a communist revolution. Researcher in History, Anita Prestes offers us a detailed trajectory of Brazilian militarism, highlighting the times when she assumed a “progressive” and “reactionary” role. Finally, Anita is hopeful with the emergence of a revolutionary popular movement that, although difficult, points out to be the only path of change.
