Hello! At the time Kropotkin would have been in the Kuban Oblast (кубанская область). Records for this area are not available on FamilySearch, but you might try checking out the Kuban genealogy website. They have some great resources there.
Here is the link: http://kubangenealogy.ucoz.ru/
The website is in Russian, but if you are using the Google Chrome browser, simply right click anywhere on the page and select translate to English. Explore their site and let us know if there is anything else we can help with
And one thing to be aware of is that prior to 1921, the town was known as Romanovsky Khutor (Романовский Хутор).
