metadata.value: The history of Russophone immigration to Brazil began in the 19th century. The last
  wave of Russophone immigration to Brazil began after the USSR’s collapse and continues
  up to this day. There are few opportunities to study Portuguese in Russia, and
  many Russophones study Brazilian Portuguese (BP) on their own after arriving in Brazil.
  They learn the language in a naturalistic way and do not have any special knowledge of
  the BP phonetics. One important difficulty of Russophones who learn BP is to perceive
  and produce the contrast between open and closed mid vowels. In Portuguese, the
  contrasts in the pairs /ε/ — /e/ and /ɔ/ — /o/ are of fundamental importance and determine
  the difference in the semantic meaning of words, for example, in some homograph
  pairs that consist of a verb conjugated in the first-person singular of the present
  tense and a related noun. The aim of this work is to characterize the production of BP
  mid vowels by Russophone immigrants in Brazil. In this work, we analyzed the audio
  recordings of the words bebe [‘bεbı] ‘he drinks’, bebo [‘bebʊ] ‘I drink’, posso [‘pɔsʊ] ‘I can’
  и poço [‘posɔ] ‘a well’, produced by 11 native BP speakers and 15 Russophones. For
  the Russophones, these was no difference between the F1 mean values of the vowels
  produced in the word pairs containing the two contrasting Portuguese mid vowels. The
  results of this study provide a base for developing strategies to improve the pronunciation
  of BP sounds by Russian speakers. Refs 31.
