Anita Leocádia Prestes
Anita Leocádia Benario Prestes (born November 27, 1936 in Berlin ) is a Brazilian historian . She is the daughter of the communists Olga Benario-Prestes and Luís Carlos Prestes .
Born in Barnimstrasse women's prison , Prestes was separated from her mother at the end of her breastfeeding period, at the age of 14 months, and was given to her paternal grandmother, Leocádia Prestes.
In Brazil , Anita Prestes finished her chemistry studies in 1964 at the Faculty of Chemistry at the former University of Brazil, now Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), with a degree in process engineering. However, after the coup of right-wing soldiers, she was not allowed to work in this profession for political reasons. In 1966, during the military dictatorship , she obtained a master's degree in organic chemistry.
In the early 1970s, Prestes went into exile in the Soviet Union . In August 1972 she was charged with political activities in Brazil. The Judicial Council of the Army ( Conselho Permanente de Justiça para o Exército ) sentenced Prestes in absentia to four years and six months imprisonment.
In December 1975, Anita Leocádia Prestes received a doctorate in political economy from the Institute of Social Sciences in Moscow . Four years later, in September 1979, the judiciary canceled Prestes' prison sentence as part of the first amnesty in Brazil.
In 1989 Anita Prestes received her PhD in history from the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF - University of the State of Rio de Janeiro) with a thesis on the Coluna Prestes . Today she is Professor of Brazilian History at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), who was appointed in 1992.
