History
The newspaper was personally founded by V.I. Lenin, and starting from January 4, 1905, the newspaper began to be published. As Lenin himself wrote, “The direction of the Forward newspaper is the direction of the old Iskra. ” The policy of the Vperyod newspaper, aimed at a complete split with the Mensheviks, rallied party committees on the basis of Leninist principles and ensured the convening of the Third Congress of the RSDLP . In that same period, the Caucasian Union Committee of the RSDLP , headed by I.V. Stalin , created a literary group to support the newspaper, but this did not save it - 4 months after publication, the newspaper was liquidated.
