"Freud is also mentioned (for the first and, one presumes, last time in Soviet literature) in Ilf and Petrov's The Golden Calf (1931)"
I notice that Freud and psychoanalysis are mentioned in the Prologue of Zoshchenko's Pered voskhodom solntsa ("Before the Sunrise," 1944). The Freudian method was never oficially banned in Soviet Russia, but, I imagine, it was better to avoid all mention of it. Small wonder that in the full form Zoshchenko's book appeared only many years after the author's death (in 1959).
