Ismajil (Ukrainian Ізмаїл ; Russian Измаил / Ismail , Romanian Ismail , Turkish İşmasıl or Hacidar ) is a Ukrainian city in Odessa Oblast on the lower reaches of the Danube . It is the administrative center of the Ismajil district , but is not itself part of this district, but is directly subordinate to the oblast.
history
The Genoese built a fortress here in the 12th century, which until 1484 belonged to the Principality of Moldova . Sultan Bayezid II conquered the fortress, and from 1484 to 1812 the city and fortress were part of the Ottoman Empire . Ismajil was conquered by the Russians on August 6, 1770 and, after being reoccupied by the Turks , stormed and destroyed by Alexander W. Suvorov on December 22, 1790 ; After the renewed Turkish occupation, the city and the fortress were taken for the third time by the Russians on September 26, 1791.
From 1812 to 1856 and from 1877 to 1917 the city belonged to the Russian governorate of Bessarabia . Part of the Russian Danube Flotilla was also stationed in Ismajil. Ismajil was united with the city of Tutschkow ( Тучков ), which was founded near it in 1810 , after the Peace of Bucharest in 1812 under the name Ismajil.
The city's fortifications were demolished in accordance with the Peace of Paris in 1856. From 1856 to 1877, from 1918 to 1940, and during World War II from 1941 to 1944, Ismajil was part of Romania . 1940/41 and from 1944 it belonged to the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union and from 1991 to the independent Ukraine. Initially it was the capital of Ismajil Oblast , which was dissolved in February 1954 and incorporated into Odessa Oblast. During the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia 1940–1941, the place got a rail connection at the end of 1940 through the Arzys – Ismajil railway line, which still exists today .
