Oh, now I see the source of my confusion. In your first reply, I got meaning of "inadequate" wrong (probably because this word is so abused by russian natives today).

I'm sorry for your main counterargument graying, because it actually clears the "dark" side of my notice. That said, I'm not ready to simply close my eyes on the rhetorical curve I found. Chukovsky was very popular (even iconic), but propaganda wasn't so. I definitely read several books filled with invasive ideology, but can't tell that it was a big influence or someone can cite these from memory. Personally I'm not very old though, SU ended short after I went to school.
