Unconscious Aspects of a Political Leader’s Image

The article sets forth the results of a research carried out by the author in one of the regions of Russia during the 1999-2000 election campaign. The research has demonstrated that manifestations of a given politician’s psychical activity being fixed by observation, reveal, if adequately interpreted, unconscious dynamics of his psychological structure and make it feasible to predict more or less exactly the politician’s possibilities in the sphere of socio-political relations.
