A rare historical document covering the history and political life of the Kuban immediately after the revolution, during the Civil War. From the author: real work is an attempt to comprehend the struggle that took place in the Kuban and in its neighboring areas. The author himself sees the shortcomings of real work: carelessness of style, unprocessing of factual material. However, very difficult conditions for scientific and literary work in Soviet Russia deprived the author of the opportunity to eliminate the shortcomings noticed in work. The arrest of the author, confiscation and loss by agents of a check of part of the material created conditions impossible for work.
