33rd Kuban Rifle Division

Initially successful, the White offensive forced the 8th Army, including the 33rd, and other Red units to retreat, but was stopped by Bolshevik resistance by the beginning of August.

From 24 November to 12 December, the division as part of 8th Army fought in the Kharkov Operation, during which the 33rd advanced on Starobilsk and captured Ostrogozhsk and Shebekino.

[5] Between 17 January and 6 February, the division fought in the Don–Manych Operation, fighting in the area of Starocherkasskaya, Aksayskaya, Manychskaya, and Zlodeiskaya.

[7] From 3 to 27 March, the division fought in the Kuban-Novorossiysk Offensive, during which it advanced towards Timagievskaya, Medvedovskaya, and Abinsk.

[8] During March and April, the division participated in mopping-up operations against remaining scattered White troops in the Maykop area, and the Stanitsas of Kamennomostnaya and Andryukovskaya, among others.

[4] In June 1920, the division was transferred to become part of August Kork's 15th Army, fighting in the Polish-Soviet War.

[11] The Polish counterattack that began on 16 August finally broke through the Soviet lines and forced the division, along with the rest of the 15th Army, into a disorganized retreat.

Around seven eighths of the Kuban Division retreated into East Prussia, where it was interned alongside much of the 15th Army.

[4] On 26 September remnants of the division still at Lida were overrun by the Polish advance, during the Battle of the Niemen River.
