Abstract
This study brings together a set of hypotheses on aspects of the social psychology of leadership in the Soviet Union, with particular attention to conceptions of the self. The analysis proceeds from constructs of character structure, and Soviet premises concerning morality and moral accountability, to a general statement of the theory and practice of the functions of a leader. Illustrative instances from all levels of the Party and non-Party hierarchy are given. The appendix contains summary statements on: discipline in child-rearing by E. Calas; the theoretical basis of the relation between Party and non-Party agencies in Soviet industrial management by L. H. Haimson; and the Czechoslovak one-party election of 1948 by David Rodnick.
