eedit
The name o the toun oreeginates frae the Kirisha River (previously Kiresha), a tributary o the Volkhov River.
The dounsett o Kirishi wis first mentioned in 1693. It wis completely destroyed in 1943 durin Warld War II.
In 1960, it wis rebuilt, an the Kirishi ile refinery wis constructit. In 1965, Kirishi wis grantit toun status.
In 1974, a "BVK" (belkovo-vitaminny kontsentrat, i.e., "protein-vitamin concentrate") production facility wis constructit next tae the ile refinery. This wis the USSR Meenistry o Microbiological Industrie's seicont plant o this kynd (efter the ane in Kstovo, opened in 1973). It uised n-parafins (byproducts o ile refinin) as feedstock for baurm, which in its turn producit single-cell protein, uised as poultry an cattle feed.[6]
Efter a 1987 accident at the microbiological plant, mass protests forcit the Supreme Soviet (1989) tae close doun the facility, as well as its seiven sister plants throughoot the Soviet Union.[6]
