Kirishi, Industrial town in Leningrad Oblast, Russia
Located on the Volkhov River bank, Kirishi extends across forested lands and contains large oil refineries, factories, and residential neighborhoods.
Kirishi experienced complete destruction during World War II occupation from 1941 to 1943, leading to temporary relocation of administration to nearby Budogoshch.
The Kirishsky District Museum preserves regional artifacts, documents, and photographs depicting local development from early settlements through industrial growth.
The town connects to Saint Petersburg through a railway network and maintains industrial operations centered around the Kinef oil refinery complex.
Environmental protests in 1989 resulted in the closure of the BVK production facility, marking a significant shift in local industrial practices.
