 During World War 2 some Russian troops have resided in a small part near Kalig Kheil (a village of Shirgah) that later came to call Russ Abad to equip rebuild and support themselves.As much as we know the former name of Shirgah was " Kharkhoon" which there are three stories behind it.The first one tells that there were many thorny bushes in its forests when wood-cutters and farmers went among the forests, their skin was cut and bleeding so it called "Kharkhoon" is made up of two smaller words;

The second comes from a story telling long before there was a ruler who had a strong lion.
