"Entuziazm" in Russian?

[Alexei Pavlov]

I would say that it's not an idea or cause but the feeling and aim, desire 
to do something.
That's how this word is taken by russians.
With respect,

Does anyone know, or does anyone know how I can find out, when the word
"entuziazm" enters Russian, particularly in its sense of the passionate
committment a revolutionary has for the cause or the idea?
