If for some reason you asked the question: "123 - which region of Russia?", then we have the answer - this is the Krasnodar Territory. The one where a considerable number of natives of other regions seek to move.
Among Russians who want to change their permanent place of residence, he takes an honorable second place (only the Moscow region is ahead). So why is he so good?
General information
Krasnodar Territory is located in the south of Russia, located on the right bank of the Kuban River, in close proximity to the Black and Azov Seas.
The administrative center of the 123rd region of Russia is the city of Krasnodar, which until 1920 was named Yekaterinodar.
It is the unofficial capital of the Kuban and a little (yet) falls short of the metropolis, the number of inhabitants is 899,541 people. But population growth here is proceeding at a rapid pace, mainly due to the migration of residents of the North, the Far East, Siberia and all those who are tired of long cold winters and dream of living in warmth and close to the sea.
In the Krasnodar Territory, the average duration of winter is only 66 days, it begins most often in early January and ends at the end of February. However, in the 123 region, there is practically no stable snow cover, so lovers of a winter fairy tale will feel uncomfortable here at this time of year.
But connoisseurs of prolonged sunbathing will enjoy life here. Summer in the Krasnodar Territory begins in mid-May and does not leave until the end of September. It is always real here - dry and hot, with an average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
Sights of Krasnodar

2. Monument to Catherine II.
One of the monumental symbols of the main city of the 123rd region. The monument was originally erected at the beginning of the 20th century in honor of the great empress, who once granted the land of the Kuban to the Cossacks.
But, like most of the beautiful creations of human hands in our country, with the coming to power of the Bolsheviksthe memorial was demolished. And only in 2006 the monument was restored, thanks to the inhabitants of the region who are not indifferent to their history.
