From real experience

To travel from Moscow to Brazil without a Schengen visa, avoid routes transiting through the Eurozone.

Recommended transit hubs include Qatar, Istanbul (Turkish Airlines), Dubai (Emirates), and Morocco (Royal Air Maroc). Flights via Ethiopia are also possible but less frequent. Example itinerary and cost: Moscow-Istanbul (Aeroflot, 28k RUB), Istanbul-Sao Paulo (Turkish Airlines, 94k RUB with luggage), Rio-Dubai (75k RUB), Dubai-Moscow (31k RUB), total 228k RUB. Be prepared for potential questions from airline staff regarding return tickets or onward travel.

Travelers from Russia to Brazil are advised to avoid short layovers (less than 2 hours) to minimize stress.

Ethiopian Airlines is recommended for first-time solo travelers due to the high density of Russian-speaking passengers who can provide assistance. Essential documents for entry include a return ticket and hotel reservation. Airport staff are trained to help non-English speakers navigate terminals via simple gestures and ticket display.

Qatar Airways offers a route from Moscow via Doha to Sao Paulo.

Passengers report fewer strict checks compared to Turkish Airlines, with some not being asked for return tickets. However, it's generally advisable to have proof of onward travel, especially if proceeding to a third country after Brazil.
