Originally it was founded in 2005 as a political youth organization part of the "international" (i.e., in the post-Soviet space) pro-Russian Proriv organization. A year later, on June 2, 2006, the Transnistrian branch of Proriv formally registered itself as a political party. It uses yellow as its political color and the famous B&W photo of Communist guerrilla fighter Che Guevara as a symbol. It is associated with the 'Che Guevara High School for Political Leadership' in Tiraspol, which was established to provide training for young political activists. Its head is Dmitriy Soin, a sociologist and former officer of the Transnistrian ministry of state security. Roman Konoplev, a well-known Russian publicist, took part in formulating ideological documents of the Party.

Chairman of the party is Aleksandr Gorelovskiy, the youth movement has a mostly slav female leadership, with Alena Arshinova. According to newspaper reports the organisation is financed by Transnistrian authorities and the mentor of the organisation is Dmitriy Soin, who is wanted by Interpol The organization supports the continuation of the republic's independence which was declared on September 2, 1990 and rejects any talk of potential reunification with Moldova.

Breakthrough has been in 2006 one of the most active forces opposing the Ukrainian presidency position on the Ukraine-Transnistria border customs conflict with street action and tent city protests on the border. The organisation is also very critical of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the government of the Republic of Moldova.
