Tarnopol is a village in the Balagansky District of Irkutsk Oblast, Russia. It serves as the administrative center of the Tarnopol rural settlement.
History The village of Tarnopol was founded in 1927–1928 by settlers from Belarus. In 1939, mass collectivization began in the Balagansky District, and the Pobeda collective farm was established, with its administrative center located in Tarnopol under the village council.
During the 1950s, agricultural reorganization led to the formation of the Rossiya collective farm within the village. In 1962, following the completion of the Bratsk Hydroelectric Power Station and the flooding associated with the creation of the Bratsk Reservoir, residents from submerged settlements were resettled in Tarnopol, contributing to the village's population growth.
