general information
The Krasnodar Territory is located in southern Russia, located on the right bank of the Kuban River, in close proximity to the Black and Azov Seas.
The administrative center of 123 regions of Russia is the city of Krasnodar, which until 1920 bore the name Yekaterinodar.
It is the unofficial capital of the Kuban and does not (yet) reach the metropolis; the number of inhabitants is 899,541. But population growth is proceeding rapidly, mainly due to the migration of residents of the North, the Far East, Siberia and all those who are tired of long cold winters and dream of living in a warm place and not far from the sea.

However, in 123 regions there is practically no sustainable snow cover, so lovers of a winter fairy tale here at this time of year will feel uncomfortable.
But connoisseurs of prolonged sunbathing will enjoy life here. Summer in the Krasnodar Territory begins in mid-May and does not leave until the end of September. It is always present here - dry and hot, with an average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
