Southern Federal District
Identity
Open-source records indicate this entry is best understood as Rosrezerv’s Southern Federal District storage network, not a single depot. The named entities are registered as federal kazennye institutions subordinate to the Management of the Federal Agency for State Reserves for the Southern Federal District, with declared activity centered on warehousing and storage.

Verified footprint
Public records match Atlas at p. Molodezhny (Kamensky district), Primorsky at kh. Novoaleksandrovka, Kavkaz at Proletarsk, Kuban at s. Kuguty, and Mir at Volgograd, ul. Zhigulevskaya 4. The Tikhoretsk placemark is the only naming discrepancy: procurement records show a Rosrezerv facility there as Kombinat "Azovsky" at ul. Krasnoznamennaya 2, not "Plant Azov," so the geographic match is strong but the exact placemark title is not fully corroborated in open sources.

Storage infrastructure
Technical and metrology records show Atlas and Kavkaz are not generic warehouses: both maintain reservoir parks for receipt, storage, and release of petroleum products. Atlas records describe 5,000 m3 above-ground tanks for light petroleum products at Molodezhny, while Kavkaz records list insulated 2,000 m3 and 5,000 m3 tanks for oil and oil-product handling at Proletarsk. A 2021 appellate ruling also shows Mir is rail-linked via a 4,692 m non-public track used for wagon handling from station Betonnaya-Tovarnaya.

Geographic relevance
The verified nodes are distributed across Rostov, Volgograd, Krasnodar, and Stavropol regions. That spread suggests a district-level reserve network with some geographic redundancy and multiple southern access corridors, rather than reliance on one site; this is an inference from the verified locations, not a publicly stated Rosrezerv claim. Kuban also appears as a fixed industrial site on federally owned land at Kuguty, where 2022 litigation concerned relocation of overhead power lines outside the parcel boundary.

Publicly confirmed limits
Open sources support the existence, locations, and general storage role of these southern Rosrezerv nodes more clearly than their inventories. Public materials do not confirm current stock categories, stock volumes, or present wartime allocation for most of the network. At least Atlas is treated as a guarded sensitive site: Rosgvardiya reported a scheduled field inspection of its security arrangements in July 2022.
