-ist/-izm (was: "putin(ov)shchina" exists)

[E Wayles Browne]

On dal'tonizm and darvinist/darvinizm:
N. M. Shanskij, ed., `Etimologicheskij slovar' russkogo jazyka, tom 1,
vypusk 5, D, E, Zh
(Izd. Moskovskogo un-teta, 1973) says;
Dal'toni'zm. Zaimstvovano iz angl. jaz. v pervoj polovine XIX v. Po SSRLJa
[the 17-volume dictionary, if I'm not mistaken] vpervye fiksiruetsja v
Slovare Tollja 1863 g.
...

Darvini'zm. Skoree vsego, zaimstvovano v seredine XIX v. iz angl. jaz.,
xotja v rus. jaz. vpervye vstrechaetsja v nazv. knigi G. Omboni
"Darvinism, ili teorija pojavljenija i razvitija zhivotnyx i rastitel'nyx
vidov", 1867 g., perevedennoj s ital. jaz.
...

Darvini'st. Zaimstvovano iz angl. jaz. v seredine XIX v. Po SSRLJa vpervye
fiksiruetsja v `Enc. leksikone Berezina 1875 g.

Shanskij, while he's much less interested in Indo-European etyma than
Vasmer, does try to make clear when a word was first recorded (and then he
estimates that the word was in use a few years before that). For dekabrist
he says:
Sobstvenno russkoe [another favorite expression of his]. Vozniklo v konce
30-x - nachale 40-x godov XIX v. pervonachal'no dlja oboznachenija
neposredstvennyx uchastnikov vosstanija 14 dekabrja 1825 na Senatskoj
ploshchadi... (and gives some references).

Deizm and deist he traces to the beginning of the century (v Novom
slovotolkovatele Janovskogo 1803 g.). Same for dantist.
