La psicoanalisi si diffuse più rapidamente e precocemente in Russia rispetto ai paesi dell’Europa occidentale. Secondo l’autrice di questo libro, le ragioni di questo fenomeno risiedono in primis nella struttura ‘romanzesca’ della psicoanalisi, basata sulle narrazioni dei pazienti. In un paese letteraturocentrico come la Russia, il ‘carattere letterario’ della psicoanalisi attrasse immediatamente l’intelligencija. Anche le affinità formali che accomunano la lingua della psicoanalisi a quella della letteratura e la stretta connessione esistente tra retorica dell’inconscio e parola poetica contribuirono a rendere il linguaggio freudiano particolarmente familiare in Russia. Infine, il Secolo d’argento, con la sua attenzione al simbolo, all’‘altro’, al doppio, acuì l’interesse per la teoria freudiana. Questo permase anche dopo la rivoluzione d’ottobre, quando lo stato si affidò alla psicoanalisi per forgiare la mente del nuovo cittadino sovietico. Questa ‘alleanza’ tuttavia ebbe breve vita e la psicoanalisi venne ostracizzata a partire dagli anni ’30 fino alla fine del regime sovietico. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… In Russia, psychoanalysis spread faster and earlier than in Western European countries. According to the author of this book, the reasons for this phenomenon lie primarily in the 'fictional' structure of psychoanalysis, based on the patients' narratives. In a literary-centric country like Russia, the 'literary character' of psychoanalysis immediately attracted the intelligentsia. The formal affinities that unite the language of psychoanalysis to that of literature and the close connection between the rhetoric of the unconscious and the poetic word also contributed to making Freudian language particularly familiar in Russia. Finally, the Silver Age of Russian Poetry, with its attention to the symbol, to the other, to the double, sharpened interest in Freudian theory. This interest persisted even after the October Revolution, when the government relied on psychoanalysis to forge the mind of the new Soviet citizen. However, this 'alliance' was short-lived and psychoanalysis was ostracized from the 1930s until the end of the Soviet regime.]
