Khorobri (Kuban: хоробрі; literally "brave ones") is an umbrella term for irregular and paramilitary forces in Kubaniza. Khorobri militias are registered with the National Guard of the Armed Forces of Kubaniza, which coordinates with the khorobri groups in times of emergency or conflict. The term khorobri had its origins in medieval Kubaniza for peasant militias and levies raised by Kubanizan lords. The term later came into use for armed insurgents fighting against foreign, especially Severyanian, occupation. Khorobri militias gained prominence for their role in the Winter War fighting against Union troops.
