'Kuban River' () is a
river in
Russia, in the
North Caucasus region. It flows through the
Karachay-Cherkess Republic,
Stavropol Krai,
Krasnodar Krai, and the
Republic of Adygea.
The Kuban flows 870 km north and west from its source near
Mount Elbrus in the
Caucasus Mountains, eventually reaching the
Sea of Azov. It is navigable along most of its length. Cities and towns along the Kuban are
Karachayevsk,
Cherkessk,
Nevinnomyssk,
Armavir,
Ust-Labinsk,
Krasnodar and

Slavyansk-na-Kubani is actually not on the Kuban River, but on the Protoka River.
