Summary
The Kuban People's Republic (also Kuban National Republic) was an anti‑Bolshevik state proclaimed on 28 January 1918 in the Kuban region of southern Russia. Its capital was Yekaterinodar (today Krasnodar) and it sought union with the Ukrainian People's Republic before being occupied by Denikin’s forces in November 1919 and annexed by the Soviets in 1920. The republic emerged from the Cossack‑dominated Kuban Oblast, inheriting a mixed population of Russian, Ukrainian and Armenian settlers.
