Summary/Abstract: The problem of interrelation and influence of personal qualities of P. A. Kropotkin on his choice and joining such radical social and political direction as anarchism is considered. The defining factor in the choice between Marxism and anarchism was P. A. Kropotkin's personal rejection of the Marxist organization in Western Europe as non-corresponding to his intellectual principles, the author concludes.
