The period 1870–1880 represents an important phase in the history of social movements in Russia. Within that decade ideas and groups merged whose influence can be discerned in the events that preceded and those that followed the upheaval of 1917.

Among those groups one of the more interesting was the so-called Lavrists, or vperedovtzy, named after the publication “Vpered” (Forward), founded and edited by Peter Lavrov (1823–1900) and first published in Zurich, Switzerland, where volumes I and II were brought out in 1873 And 1874 respectively, and then in London, where volumes III, IV And V (the last-named not under the editorship of lavrov) as well as a bimonthly edition of “Vpered” were published during 1874–1877. In addition, the printing office of “Vpered” also produced several books and pamphlets.

page 54 note 1 As indicated in letters written by Smirnov to Alexander Buturlin (see Note 6) during the years 1872 and 1873, the decisive negotiations between Lavrov and the Bakuninists took place in mid-December 1872. Therefore the second version of the program must have been written some time earlier, but not before the fall of that year, when Lavrov learned that his first program had been written under a wrong assumption.
