Abstract: Most revolutionary elite studies merely discuss and analyze the few key men who build and create revolutionary movements, as well as look upon the "political revolutionary" as a singular, modal type. This paper is a discussion and analysis of the generality of the leadership of one specific political revolution, the 1905 Russian Revolution. By means of Q-factor analysis, it was discovered that the 1905 revolutionary leadership cluster into one of six activity categories or types: (1) rebel, (2) striker, (3) propagandist, (4) party organizer, (5) upper-level politician, (6) intelligentsia. Not only was each type distinct in terms of its revolutionary role, but also unique in terms of childhood, adolescent, and familial characteristics. Moreover, each type, which developed sequentially, parallels the necessary functions of a political system, as specified by Almond and Coleman.
