None of the provided sources addresses a 2006 arrival of 500 Jews from Israel in Stavropol or the founding of a community called New Krasnodar. The sources cover general Soviet and Israeli immigration statistics and unrelated Stavropol and Krasnodar Jewish community news, so the claim is neither substantiated nor refuted.
What was said
… But this group has a few thousand who leased land on a 99-year lease. Sometimes it was a 48-year lease from local Cossacks in rural areas, and they bought the grain elevators. Here, and back in 2006, it was 500 Jews arriving of Estavropol from Israel, and, of course, they quickly separated themselves from the native Slavs, and they called themselves New Krasnodar, and they built even the security fence like you had in Israel itself.

The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. Immigration statistics for Israel in 2006 (Jewish Virtual Library, Della Pergola data, Wikipedia on post-Soviet aliyah) give national totals, with no mention of Stavropol or a 500-person group settling there.[3][4][5]
Context. Recent coverage of Jewish communities in Stavropol and Krasnodar reports new members joining at Passover and a Stavropol community leader's comments, but says nothing about a 2006 settlement or a community named New Krasnodar.[6][7]
Context. The 2006 aliyah gallery lists a 520-olim flight from the US, UK and Canada, which is a different origin and group from the claim's 500 arrivals from Israel to Stavropol.[8]
Context. The remaining sources (PolitiFact index, Snopes archive, Soviet-era exodus chronologies) are unrelated to the claim's specific event.[1][2][9][10]
