The Kuban Partisan Movement (KPD) is a regional partisan formation of the Russian armed opposition. Created after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, it supports Ukraine in the war. The KPD commits arson and sabotage, and conducts agitation. It opposes the ruling regime of the Russian Federation, and supports self-determination and the independence of Kuban.

Creation and principles

[edit]

The KPD was created by radical anti-Putin activists from the fall of 2022 to the spring of 2023. The impetus for the creation was the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. On December 7, 2023, the "Manifesto of the Kuban Partisan Movement" was published. The authors of the manifesto declared the state of the Russian Federation "criminal and terrorist", sharply condemned the "war against the people close to us", demanded the cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of Russian troops to the borders of 1991.

Not only the Putin regime, but also the "corrupt leadership of the Kuban" were sharply condemned by the KPD. Kuban as a historical and geographical region was proclaimed "independent and self-sufficient". A referendum on secession was demanded: "Our goal is a democratic, secure, free, prosperous and independent Kuban."

The composition and number of KPDs are not disclosed. It is known that the founder and leader is a partisan with the call sign "Yuzhak". Initially, the basis of the movement was a group of like-minded friends, over time the contingent expanded. According to Yuzhak, most of the participants in the movement are young people in the humanities.

There are no rigid ideological frameworks in the movement. The participants of the KPD adhere to general democratic views with a national bias and advocate the independence of the Kuban.

Our values are conscience, freedom, and the future. Such personalities as Aleksandr Skobov are inspiring. This is flint. A real example for all of us.[d]
