1. THE CITY OF KRASNODAR
a. Introduction
KRASNODAR (45?021N-39?00'E) is the metropolis of the
Kuban valley area and the capital of Krasnodarskiy Kray; as
Yekaterinodar, it was the chief city of the Kuban Cossacks be-
fore the Revolution. By the early 1930's, KRASNODAR had be-
come a city of all-Union significance, due primarily to its
location on the west bank of, the twisting Kuban River where
it served as a collecting and processing center for the pro-
ducts of the fertile, black earth agricultural area surround-
ing it. As a river port, the city is a gateway to the area
from the Black Sea and the important harbors on that body of
water, while a rail line to BAKU connects the city with the
Caspian. Its 1956 population has been estimated at 310,000
inhabitants, which is a marked increase from the approximately
204,000 persons present in 1939, inasmuch as the city
suffered serious damage during the war years. Russians and
Ukrainians are the predominant ethnic groups in the city, but
considerable numbers of Armenians, Georgians, and Greeks have
been reported. Military installations occupied by Infantry,
Armored, Signal, and SAF units in addition to MVD and local
SECRET
SECRET
police activities have been reported.
b. Urban Characteristics
KRASNODAR lies in law, almost swampy terrain west
of the navigable Kuban River which makes a loop enclosing the
southern part of the city. The city blocks are generally laid
out in regular squares, occasional wide streets or avenues
also conform to the pattern. Most of the central streets are
paved with asphalt or cobblestones while peripheral streets
are of graded earth. The city suffered sufficient wartime
damage to qualify as one of fifty in the RSFSR for recon-
struction priority. This suggests that changes in layout
have taken place, and it may also reflect the importance of
the city in the Soviet economy. Buildings in KRASNODAR are
predominantly one and two-story structures; exceptions to this
are many of the buildings along Stalin Street, the main
thoroughfare, and some other government and industrial build-
ings.
Surrounding the city are large orchards and agricultural
enterprises, including some of the most important jute-produc-
ing land in the USSR. These agricultural activities are re-
flected in the city's industries which include canning and
npelassified in Part Sanitized COPY Approved for Release ? 50-Yr 2014/03/04 ? CIA-RDP81-01043R002500050003-2

distilling, meat packing, flour milling and storage, the pre-
paration of dairy products, the manufacture of tobacco, and
presumably the processing of jute, although no plant devoted
to this has been reported. Among its other industries are one
of the largest oil refineries in the Kuban region as well as
metal manufacturing and machine building plants. Of interest
to the casual tourist and of orientation value to others as
well, are a number of facilities for entertainment and
culture. Two important parks exist in the southern part of
the city. One of these, Gorkiy Park (City Plan, Item 72) is
beautifully laid out
atric.al productions.
located a few blocks
and offers open air concerts and the-
The other, Kalinin Park (Item 70), is
to the northwest and to the north of
Tallmyana Street. In addition to a palace of culture and
several sports fields elsewhere in the city, a park of culture
and rest has been developed on the shore of Karasum Lake, a
sizeable body of water which has recently been cleaned and
converted into a water sports area.
The 1955 edition of the handbook Territorial-Adminis-
trative Divisions of the USSR lists four city raions in KRAS-
NODAR: Kaganovich, Kirov, Red Guard, and Stalin. It is
probable that at least the first of these has undergone a
SECRET
change in name to reflect the fall from favor in 1956 of the
man for whom it was named.
c. Industry
KRASNODAR's industrial installations are to be found
throughout the city, but a higher concentration appears in the
south and east along the Kuban than in any other sections.
Some of the city's more important and larger ones merit special
attention since they played a considerable part in the war
effort, and would probably do likewise in any future conflict.
The Krasnodar Oil Refinery (Item Si) mentioned previously is
probably the most important industrial installation in the city.
It receives crude oil from the Maykop oil fields via pipeline
and rail from APSHERONSK (44?281N-39?)45'BL Besides the usual
'petroleum products, a variety of synthetics are reportedly pro-
duced at this refinery. Its crude oil supply is stored in open
tanks (Item 59) on the east bank of the river, and is pumped
through pipelines laid under the river into the refinery. The
plant consists of numerous storage tanks for refined products,
boiler houses, distillation units, workshops and laboratories,
pumphouses, warehouses, and administrative buildings. The area
covered has been estimated at about 59 acres, and the crude
charging capacity of the refinery at approximately 1,000,000

VIA
metric tons per year, prior to the addition of three 50,000
ton tanks in 1956. The addition of these tanks could also
mean that exploitation of the Illskaya oil fields has been
successful. (IL1SKAYA (44?511N-38034'E) is several miles
southwest of KRASNODAR, and some fields in this area had
been developed prior to World War 11$ but with the war most
of them were destroyed.) The refinery itself was heavily-
damaged during the war, but was completely restored by 1952.
The Machine Tool and Equipment Plant "Sedin" (Item 50),
produces machinery mainly for industrial use, and is probably
the next most important factory in the city. During the war
this plant made tank and anti-aircraft gun components, how-
itzers, and ammunition cases. At present it employs a labor
force of over three thousand and reportedly produces lathes,
grinding machines, winches, drills, pumps for the oil in-
dustry, and agricultural equipment. The plant is served by
rail, and receives pig iron from the Donets region. A Pre-
cision Instrument Plant (Item 22), situated in the northern
part of the city, produces mechanical and electrical measur-
ing instruments for industrial use. Contained in its area
are storage tanks, work shops, assembly buildings, adminis-
tration buildings, and probably residential buildings for
SECRET

employees. During the war this plant was engaged in production
and maintenance work for the armed forces. The Krasnodar To-
bacco Plant (Item 29) is probably the largest such plant in
Krasnodar Kray. Equipped with rail service and numerous
buildings, this plant was reportedly converted to the pro-
duction of ammunition during World War II. The Motor Vehicle
Parts Plant, "October" (Item 33), produced mortars, mortar
shells, mines, grenades, and small arms during the war, but is
now engaged in the production of cylinder blocks and other
motor parts for trucks and tractors. Some of the parts are
shipped to vehicle plants as far as MOSCCW, as well as to the
"Dzerzhinskiy" Tractor Plant in STALINGRAD. KRASNODAR's Air-
craft Engine Repair Plant (Item 21) is of post-war construc-
tion (1948), and is engaged in the repair of aircraft engines
and agricultural machinery. The six industrial installations
described above are only the more important of the many enter-
prises in the city, and those for which some war production
information is available. Other plants include the Truck and
Tractor Repair Plant (Item 19), the Wagon Plant "Kalinin"
(Item 26), several Brick Plants (Items 31,54,55,57), the
Leather Plant (Item 5), a Boat Yard (Item 35), the Glass Plant
"Rykov" (Item 48), a Power Pla,au (Item 44), and plants and

pumping stations associated with the distribution of water
(Items 43,63).
Since KRASNODAR is an agricultural center it is not sur-
prising that a huge industry has grown up around the process-
ing of fruit, meat, and other agricultural products. The
following are representative plants of the 'city's food pro-
cessing industry: (1) The Vegetable Oil Plant (Item 42),
probably the largest of its kind in the Soviet Union, lies
in the northeastern part of the city. It reportedly ex-
tracts 60 metric tons of vegetable oil per day, in addition
to producing soya flour, margarine, soap, fodder, and ferti-
lizer. Its labor force is estimated to be about 3000 per-
sons. (2) The Food Canning Plant "Mikoyan" (Item 52) is
situated on the south bank of the Kuban River. It processes
and cans vegetables, fruits, and meats, and treats fats from
meat products for further industrial use. It is one of the
largest canning combines in the USSR. In addition to being
served by rail, reports indicate that its wharves enable it
to ship certain goods on the Kuban River. (3) The Meat
Packing Plant (Item 56) is of impressive size, and recognized
by its livestock pens. Like several other installations in
the city, it has its own power plant. Other food products
SECRET

factories include the Macaroni Plant (Item 45), the Flour Mills
(Items 34,39), the Castor Oil Plant (Item 46), and a large Dis-
tillery (Item 37).
d. Transportation
KRASNODAR is an important rail junction, and a col-
lecting and shipping center connected to the major roil routes
which lead into central Russia and the Transcaucasus. The city
has direct rail connections to STALINGRAD via TIKHORETSK (49
521N-40009'E), and almost direct connections to RCSTOV (47?1411'-
39?42'E) by way of a single track line which joins the main
double track route from MAKHACHKAIA (42058IN-470271E) to ROSTOV
at KUSHCHEVSKAYA (46034IN-39037tE). The southern part of this
route links KRASNODAR to BAKU on the Caspian Sea, and the
northern part eventually leads into European Russia and to MOS-
COW. Southeast from KRASNODAR a single track line extends to
NOVOROSSIYSK (44040N-370471E) on the Black Sea via KRYMSKAYA
(44?551N-37058'E). Beyond KRIMSKAYA on this route the line is
double track. Another single track line extends eastward to
STAVROPOL (450031N-41058TE), and is believed to be only of
local significance. Serving KRASNODAR are two railroad
stations. The Main Station (Item 41) is both a passenger and
freight station; in addition to a large station building there
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release ? 50-Yr 2014/03/04: CIA-RDP81-01043R002500050003-2
Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release ? 50-Yr 2014/03/04 : CIA-RDP81-01043R002500050003-2
are numerous tracks and yards which handle the large amounts
of freight passing through the city. The Main Station is
equipped with two turntables, several oil storage tanks, and
open storage areas. Railway Station No. 2 (Item 25) is pri-
marily a freight station although passengers can board trains
here. It is equipped with several tracks and appears to
function mostly as a marshalling point.
Highway transportation in and out of KRASNODAR is re-
portedly much inferior to its rail transportation. Most
highways emanating from the city are merely graded dirt roads
that become impassable in inclement weather. Only two first-
class, hard surfaced routes serve the city. One leads east-
ward through the village of PASHKOVSKAYA, and southward to
the Black Sea port of TUAPSE (44005IN-390061E). Only part of
it is known to be asphalted. The other leads northward to
ROSTOV, and is also only partly asphalted. Poorer roads ex-
tend to NOVOROSSIYSKI TIKHORETSK, ARMAVIR (45?001N-41Q08IE),
and MAYKOP. These are chiefly of gravel
struction, although both cobblestone and
to be found. Highly reliable sources as
or graded earth con-
asphalt stretches are
recent as 1956 report
the existance of a new:two-lane, hard surface, high speed
highway running northeast from KRASNODAR to ROSTOV. It does

not appear on any maps prior to 1956, and apparently does not
pass through towns or cities. Numerous other roads radiate
from the city, but these merely serve kolkhozes and villages in
the area.
Since KRASNODAR relies heavily on rail transportation,
among its most vulnerable features are its bridges. The des-
truction of the bridges in the southern part of the city would
practically halt the shipment of food products from the agri-
cultural regions south of the city. Only one rail bridge spans
the Kuban River (Item 61), and it was destroyed in 1942, but re-
built later when the Germans captured the city. It was rebuilt
again by the Russians, and is now reported to be a four-span,
steel truss bridge 400 yards long, with masonry piers and abut-
ments. A road bridge parallels the

to six piers. A pontoon
bridge constructed by the Germans in 1942 appears on wartime
aerial and ground photographs and upon USAF Mosaics, but of-
ficial travelers who recently crossed the highway bridge report
that the pontoon bridge no longer exists, and that no other
bridge has been constructed in its place. The bridge in the
eastern part of the city (Item 62) is a vehicular, two-way

bridge of wood and steel.
Intracity transportation consists mostly of buses and
trolleybuses. A trolleybus system began to replace streetcars
several years ago and the transformation is not yet complete.
Streetcars are still conspicious on Shaumyan and Red Army
Streets, but they reportedly no longer on Stalin Street.
Local transportation is reported to be inadequate to the de-
mands placed upon it. Commercial air service for the city em-
ploys the Northwest Airfield (Item 2), which may also have
some military traffic.
2. Military Appraisal
a. Order of Battle
KRASNODAR is located in the North Caucasus Military
District, and ACSI lists the following Order of Battle hold-
ings in the city:
9th Mt. Rifle Division and Subordinates:
36th Mt. Rifle Regt.
121st Mt. Rifle Regt.
193rd Mt. Rifle Regt.
256th Mt. Gun Arty. Regt.
56th AT Arty- Bn.
140th Sapper En.
SECRET
SECRET
The above Order of Battle conforms generally to reports that
numerous Russian Infantry troops can be seen in the city, in ad-
dition to troops belonging to Artillery, Tank, Signal, and SAF
units.
b. Military Installations
KRASNODAR has approximately 18 military installations,
several of which are single buildings scattered about the city.
A few of these also include living quarters for military person-
nel and their families. This type of living arrangement lends
further credence to previous reports that KRASNODAR is a permanent
training and maneuver area. What is probably the largest barracks
facility (Item 3) is located in the northwestern part of the city
near North Street. It consists of about eight two-story brick
buildings used for barracks and about 15 auxiliary buildings.
Artillery troops have been seen in the vicinity of these barracks
but it has not been possible to definitely locate any of the
above OB holdings at this installation. Located in the southern
part of the city are two military barracks areas which are pro-
bably connected (Items 16,18). Engineer and Tank battalions are
reportedly billeted in these areas. Situated in the western part
of the city on the north bank of the Kuban is another military
area (Item 6), one which reportedly serves infantry troops of the

9th Mt. Rifle Division. Reliable sources have reported the
existence of an old, two-story building in the city which
serves as an officer training school. It reportedly trains
approximately 100C officers during a training cycle. Pe-
culiar to the KRASNODAR military administration is the fact
that officer personnel are billeted throughout the city., but
whether this is the result of a shortage of garrison BOQ
facilities, or a definite policy in the KRASNODAR area has
not been reported. The scattering of military personnel
throughout the city-area to this extent is not common to
other urban areas studied in this military district as far
as is known. For example, officers are billeted in an un-
known complex of four buildings, three stories high east of
the Airfield. Officers are billeted on October and Lenin
Streets (Items 17,12) near the center of the city. Army
Headquarters (Item 11) for the entire KRASNODAR area is
spread over two blocks on IRvanevskly Street. The frequent
appearance of MND and Police (Militsiya) troops on the
streets has been reported. MND Headquarters (Item 15) is
located in a three-story stone building on Pushkin Street.
Other contingents are located on Gogol Street (Item 10),
North Street (Item 7), and at an MVD Prison on Proletariat
SECRET
Street (Item 14). Police administration buildings, stores, and
quarters are located in a large, three-story building along Stalin
Street (Item 9), and in a large family type building on Gogol
Street (Item 8). Other Police and MND installations are reported
in the vicinity of both railroad stations, but it has not been
possible to pinpoint them. No evidence of elaborate military de-
fenses of the city has been reported, probably because KRASNODAR
is an inland city; however, a long anti-tank ditch runs through
the northern perimeter. The ditch begins on the western out-
skirts of the village of PASHKOVSKAYA and extends westwards to-
ward the KRASNODAR main rail station for about two miles, and
northwestwards for about two miles. It WAS a part of the defenses
of the city-when the German Army captured it in the summer of
1942.

SECRET
Of major importance is the large Military Airfield (Item 1)
situated in the northwestern outskirts of the city. It is a
large field with two concrete runways that have been extended to
accomodate jet planes, and numerous other types. The field con-
tains an almost unlimited amount of parking space, and many dis-
persal bays. Underground repair facilities and work shops are
reported on the east side of the field, in addition to several
hangars, SAF barracks, and schools for the training of pilots and

paratroopers. The east side of the field is enclosed by a
high barbed wire fence with guard towers and searchlights
spaced at regular intervals. A mobile radio station is sit-
uated in a depression on the field, and is moved from time
to time. The southern road approach to the field is con-
stantly under guard according to official reports.
The Northwest Field (Item 2) is situated in the
un-
mediate suburbs of the city. It is a sod covered field
which is ringed with revetments and contains only one han-
gar. An administration building is situated in the south-
west corner of the field. Official visitors to the city who
landed at this field have not reported any military planes
present, although it has been reported as an auxiliary to
the Military Airfield (Item 1).
c. Logistical Appraisal
KRASNODAR appears adequately supplied with storage
facilities for its military needs. Most of the military in-
stallations have storage facilities of their own, making it
unnecessary to maintain more than one major installation of
this nature in the city. A huge Military Supply Dept
(Item 4), is the receiving and distribution point for mili-
tary goods entering the city. It is rail served, and manned

by military personnel. A seven foot high wooden fence surrounds
the entire area consisting of approximately 45 buildings, most of
which are warehouses. It is reported that this depot supplies
all units in the city, including those of the SAF. The absence
of such facilities in smaller places such as MAYKOP, suggest! that
KRASNODAR may serve as a supply point for a substantial part of
the North Caucasus Military District as well.
3. Sources
A variety of sources has been used in the preparation of
this study. The most important of these have been travel reports
of military attaches which offered invaluable information about
the city and some of its military installations. Prisoner-of-war
reports were used extensively for general orientation purposes.
Additional information that was helpful came from the study of
German aerial and ground photography- taken in 1942 and 1943.
Standard United States Army Maps of the 'area were used to great
advantage, as were numerous other data from open sources.

Summar OF SELECTED INSTALLATIONS
1. MILITARY AIRFIELD (2-B). A large generally rectangular
sod field with numerous revetments, two concrete runways
capable of landing jet aircraft, and several large barracks.
Contained in the SE corner of the field are SAF barracks,
administration buildings, numerous auxiliary buildings,
underground repair facilities and work shops, and schools
which train pilots and paratroopers. Contained in the SW
part of the field are large underground oil storage facili-
ties. A mobile radio station exists on the field. Under-
ground ammunition storage is reported, but its location is
unknown. The entire east boundary of the field is en-
closed by a high barbed wire fence with guard towers and
searchlights spaced at regular intervals. It is served by
rail, and reportedly handles a limited quantity of passen-
ger and freight flights. (USAF Target No. 0249-8185)
2. NORTHWEST AIRFIELD (4-C). Situated in the immediate su-
burbs of the city, this field is primarily civil, but is re-
ported to be an auxiliary to the military field. It is an
irregularly shaped, sod covered field with one main hangar,
an administration building, and approximately 33 dispersal
bays. (USAF Target No. 0249-8187)
3. MILITARY BARRACKS (5-C). Approximately 10 two-story
barracks, 15 aukiliary buildings, and drill grounds are
contained in this barracks area. Reports indicate that
artillery troops are quartered here.
4. MILITARY SUPPLY DEPOT (5-D). Probably the only depot in
the city, it consists of about 45 buildings, most of which
are warehouses. It is rail served, surrounded by a seven
foot high wooden fence, and guarded by military personnel.
5. LEATHER PLANT, "RED ARMY" (5-F). A large leather plant
which produces military foot-wear in addition to civilian
leather products; it contains about 21 buildings and is pro-
bably rail served. (USAF Target No, 0249-0298)
6. MILITARY BARRACKS AREA (5-B). Approximately 15 buildings
are contained within this area, including barracks, garages,
-9-
SECRET
administration, and storage. Infantry troops are reportedly
billeted here.
7. MVD BUILDING (5-D). A large 3-story building containing
family apartments for MVD officers.
