history
The place was originally called Karasu (Russified form of the Turkic-speaking name) and formed a unit with today's Kyrgyz part during the time of the Russian Empire .
With the formation of the Uzbek and Kyrgyz SSR (initially as ASSR ) in the 1920s, the place was administratively divided. The Uzbek part was in the 1930s after the Soviet party and Staatsfünktionär Kliment Voroshilov in Woroschilowo renamed. In 1958 it was renamed again to (Possjolok) imeni Iljitscha , Russian for Ilyich settlement (after the patronymic Vladimir Ilyich Lenin ), later simplified to Ilyich . By 1979 the population rose to 14,701, and in 1980 the settlement was given city status under the name Ilyichovsk . In 1989 the city had 19,454 inhabitants.
Since 1992 the city has had its original name in the Uzbek form again. Riots broke out in Qorasuv in May 2005 when many Uzbeks tried to flee to Kyrgyzstan because of the unrest in the nearby city of Andijon . The state border is secured on the Uzbek side by a barbed wire fence.
