Dear Prof. Scotto!
I was glad to help you.
Actually I'm interested in semantic syntax but I doubt that I will be wrong 
if I say that this word appeared in Russian in the 20 century. Something 
tells me that you are aware of this fact.)
Our collegues had suggested you to consult a specialist in this field and 
stalinist period as well. Without any doubt this word was used in slogans in 
the early soviet period but may be you should check some poets of the soviet 
period as well. Starting with Majakovsky for example. May be that will be 
helpfull.
With respect,
Alexe I. Pavlov

Dear Professor Pavlov:

Thank you for this clarification.  Would you know when the word comes into
Russian in this sense?
