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.
