Anton Sosnin then almost had the visitors back on level terms when his driven shot hit the upright on 28 minutes.
But soon after it was 2-0 as Stanislav Manolev put away a three versus two counter-attack that had Kuban scrambling in defence.
Vladislav Ignatjev then gave thye visitors hope after the interval when he tucked away Danilo's deflected cross to make it 2-1.
And Kuban were level five minutes later as Sekou Oliseh dribbled past three defenders to finish a one-two pass beyond Vladimir Gabulov in goal.
The fightback keeping Kuban's undefeated start to the season intact - Dynamo remain level with Kuban on 19 points, but lie one place above them on goal difference in third place in the RPL table.
