A republic of the Russian SFSR, it was created by merging the Kuban-Black Sea Soviet Republic, the Stavropol Soviet Republic, and the Terek Soviet Republic[1].
Its capital was Yekaterinodar; however, on August 16, 1918 Yekaterinodar was taken by Denikin's Volunteer Army[2], and the capital was moved to Pyatigorsk[3].
By the end of 1918, the majority of the republic's territory was captured by the White Army.
On January 11 1919, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee abolished the republic[4].
