History

Komyshi was first mentioned sometime in the 17th century. It was occupied by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in December 1917, after which a kolkhoz named "Ilyich's Testament" was established in the village. 166 inhabitants of Komyshi were killed in World War II, and a monument to Soviet soldiers killed in the war was constructed in 1958.[2]

Komyshi's economy is primarily driven by the local farm, which has leveraged its economic output to improve local living standards since the 1990s.[3]
