The Kuban Cossack Association (Kuban Cossack Stanitza) was an organization dedicated to Russian émigrés who were veterans
of the Russian Civil War (1917-1923), based out of the Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church in Red Bank, New Jersey from the 1950s
until 2014.
Scope and Content of Collection
The Kuban Cossack Association records document the activities of a New Jersey Kuban Cossack émigré community through photographs,
writings, clippings, and publications.
Includes the papers of engineer Nicholas Feodoroff, author of the memoir "A Cossack Galloped Far Away", and Aleksei Shilenok,
also an engineer, who was active in the Russian émigré Beseda Society in Philadelphia. The papers reflect the two men's respective
interests and activities, including Feodoroff's engineering accomplishments and Shilenok's teaching and administrative activities
with Beseda and Russian schools in Philadelphia. The records also detail the activities of Cossack émigré "stanitsas" (settlements)
in other areas of the United States and other countries, such as Australia, Canada, and Germany.
