| | FAQs about Russian Cossacks from Kuban - Krasnodar Region |
 | | In the Russian Empire the Cossacks constituted ten separate voiskos, settled along the frontiers: the Don, Kuban, Terek, Astrakhan, Ural, Orenburg, Siberian, Semiryechensk, Amur, and Ussuri voiskos. |
 | | The officers came from the military schools, in which all Cossack voiskos had their own vacancies, or were non-commissioned Cossack officers, with officers' grades. |
 | | The income which the Cossack voiskos received from the lands (which they rented to different persons), also from various sources (trade patents, rents of shops, fisheries, permits for gold-digging, etc.), as also from the subsidies they received from the government (about Ј712,500 in 1893), went to cover all the expenses of state and local administration. |
