'''''Vperyod''''' ({{Langx|ru|Вперёд|italic=yes}}; {{Translation|''Forward''}}) was the first factional newspaper of the [Bolsheviks](/source/Bolsheviks) after the split at the [Second Congress](/source/2nd_Congress_of_the_Russian_Social_Democratic_Labour_Party) of the [Russian Social Democratic Labour Party](/source/Russian_Social_Democratic_Labour_Party). The first issue of the paper was published on 22 December 1904 in [Geneva](/source/Geneva).<ref>{{Cite book|title=Stalin|last=Trotsky|first=Leon|publisher=Wellred Books|year=2016|isbn=978-1-900-00767-2|location=|pages=66|quote=}}</ref>

The newspaper was founded personally by [Vladimir Lenin](/source/Vladimir_Lenin) and starting from January 4, 1905, the newspaper began to be published. As Lenin himself wrote - "The ''direction of the newspaper Vperyod is the direction of the old Iskra.'' " The newspaper Vperyod's policy aimed at a complete split with the Mensheviks rallied the party committees on the basis of Leninist principles and ensured the convocation of the [Third Congress of the RSDLP](/source/3rd_Congress_of_the_Russian_Social_Democratic_Labour_Party). Among its editors were [Vatslav Vorovsky](/source/Vatslav_Vorovsky), [Mikhail Olminsky](/source/Mikhail_Olminsky), [Anatoly Lunacharsky](/source/Anatoly_Lunacharsky) and [Ivan Teodorowich](/source/Ivan_Teodorovich).<ref>{{Cite book|last=|first=|title=Bolshevik press (revolutionary press) / Zhdanovskaya Z.

At that same period, the Caucasian Union Committee of the RSDLP, headed by [Josif Stalin](/source/Joseph_Stalin), created a literary group to support the newspaper, however 4 months after publication, the newspaper was liquidated.
