Krasnodar
Krasnodar is a major city in southern Russia, founded in 1793 as Yekaterinodar (named after Catherine the Great) and later renamed in 1920 during the Soviet era. Located on the Kuban River, it serves as the cultural and economic hub of the Kuban region, known for its Cossack heritage, vibrant arts scene, and historical landmarks like the Krasnodar Regional Art Museum. The city played a key role in Russia’s agricultural and military history, particularly during the Russian Civil War and World War II.
