Krasnodar, Regional capital in Southern Russia
Located in the Kuban-Black Sea region, Krasnodar extends along the Kuban River with wide boulevards and numerous green spaces covering 192 square kilometers.
Founded in 1793 as Yekaterinodar, the city served as a military fortress built by Black Sea Cossacks who received these lands from Empress Catherine II.
The Krasnodar Regional Art Museum displays over 12,000 artworks, including extensive collections of Russian paintings and regional Kuban art from different periods.
The city maintains direct train connections to Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Sochi, with regular departures from the central railway station on Privokzalnaya Square.
The Shukhov Tower, constructed in 1935, demonstrates pioneering hyperboloid structure engineering through its distinctive steel lattice design standing 32 meters high.
