The Kuban People's Republic was a short-lived anti-Bolshevik government operating out of Ekaterinodar (now Krasnodar) during the Russian Civil War. This 200-rouble note was issued in 1918 as White movement forces and Volunteer Army units were actively contesting control of the northern Caucasus — the issuing authority itself was displaced from the city twice before the Bolsheviks finally took it for good in 1920.
The S-prefix Pick reference confirms its classification as a regional provisional issue rather than a national series. Kuban notes circulated alongside Volunteer Army scrip, Don Republic issues, and Denikin's own Armed Forces money, creating a chaotic multi-issuer environment that made local acceptance deeply unreliable.
