The Kuban Soviet Republic (April 13 – May 30, 1918)[1] was part of Soviet Russia within the general territory of the Kuban.[2] Its capital was Yekaterinodar.
It was merged into the Kuban-Black Sea Soviet Republic on May 30, 1918, less than 2 months after it was formed.
In February 1918, the First Congress of Soviets of the Kuban Region was held in Armavir.[3] One of the first actions undertaken by the Congress was the election of a regional council, which designated the Soviets as the sole legitimate authority of the Kuban People's Republic and banned the Kuban Rada.
At the end of March, Bolshevik forces had managed to occupy the Kuban capital of Yekaterinodar,[4] which led to the formation of the Yekaterinodar Committee of the Bolsheviks and subsequently the 1st and 2nd Yekaterinodar Communist Regiments.
