The article is devoted to philosophical and anthropological aspects of the idea of strong personality in the ideological system of the Party of Socialist-Revolutionaries (PSR), the largest Russian political party of the first quarter of the 20th century. The links of this idea with the subjective method in the sociology of Russian Populists P. L. Lavrov and N. K. Mikhailovsky and in particular with the so-called theory of the hero and the crowd, as well as with the ideas of F. Nietzsche and his theory of the ubermensch are shown. In addition, the main manifestations of the idea of a strong personality in the political practice of the PSR, as well as the reflection of this theory and practice in the contemporary fiction of the first quarter of the 20th century are traced.
