Considerations for Brazil
Multiple readers have reported that Brazil uses mostly type "C" and 220V (hotels and big cities). Officially the plug type "N" is the definite and standard nowadays, it can be used with plugs type "C". How much and and to what extend the standard is enforced is unknown to us and it will depend on where you go, expect high variance in its enforce.
Considering Brazil is a big country, it might be possible your location might be using 110V and flat type plugs (A & B). Sockets type "I" are less common but still possible to find them, i.e. in an air-con. We keep the lesser common outlet-types and voltages in our database for your consideration.

Voltage
Take care: Brazil uses higher voltage than Kyrgyzstan
Your electric devices from Kyrgyzstan will be expecting 0 Volts, but Brazil grid is of 110 Volts, this is a substantial difference that requires you to take some extra steps in preparation to your trip:
On the positive side, nowadays many devices will switch automatically to the network voltage and they will work just fine, i.e. mobile phone chargers are typically multi-voltage (but please, do actually check your own). It is important that you pay attention to your device's voltage. Connecting electronics to the wrong voltage, in the luckiest of the cases, the device will break or stop working temporarily; but please don't take this lightly, in the worst of the cases electrocution and fire hazards are a real possibility.
High-power devices don't usually handle different voltages due to the high-currents involved i.e. anything that its main purpose involves generating heat (or cold) like hair driers, baby bottle warmers, kettles, etc. On the contrary, modern low-power devices are likely to auto-detect and auto-adapt to different voltages i.e. usb chargers, laptop chargers, etc.
You will need a step down voltage converter a device that can be plugged to 110 volts and it provides an outlet with 0 volts for your Kyrgyzstan' device. You will need to pay attention to the maximum power output of the converter and the maximum power consumption of the device.
Plugs Type
Some connectors are used in both countries
You will be able to plug the devices directly in Brazil (please read other sections of this reports in regards to voltage, etc.). Perhaps you will need adapters for some sockets, but it is usually easier to find adapters at destination if your plug is already being used in the country. Sometimes different cities uses different systems, you might need to do a bit more of research. If you find more information please let us know.
Adapters
Lists of adapters you can use in your travel:

This adapter allows you to use plugs type: C, D, E, F, G, M into outlets type: A, B.
This adapter is probably illegal in some countries, we put it here for educational purposes; it does not have earth connection but it allows earthed plugs to be connected to it. It has no finger-terminal protection. Try to go for a more expensive and safer alternative.

This adapter allows you to use plugs type: C, E, F into outlets type: A, B.
Simple, small and cheap. You can buy half a dozen of them for almost no money and they will not occupy space in your travel bag. its drawback, it does not have earth-connection but it might not be required for some devices.
Adapters you can buy
You can buy the following multi-purpose adapters from Amazon. Please also take a look at the recommended gadgets for your trip.
Hertz
No equal Hertz
This is not a big issue. Unless you are using an electric alarm clock or some motors when speed is an issue. Explanation: Some alarm clocks uses the frequency of electricity network to measure time. So, time shifts could be experimented. Almost every home electronic device works perfectly with different Hertz.
