[edit] Geography
The area of the oblast is 13,800 km².
[edit] History
Before World War I, the area of the oblast was ruled by Austria-Hungary; after that war Poland assumed the governing of the area, as part of the Tarnopol Voivodship (prior to World War II). The capital was 40% Polish, 20% Ukrainian and 40% Jewish before World War II, when the population was 35,000.
After World War II, most Poles were relocated to Poland. In 2005, the population had grown to roughly 225,000, mostly Ukrainian with a large Russian or Russian-speaking minority and an invisibly small Jewish community. The religion is mostly Eastern Rite Catholic (Uniate) with active Orthodox and Protestant minorities. Many churches, large and small, have been built every year since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The city has important institutions of higher education, including two teacher's colleges, an international medical school with instruction in English and one of three economics institutes in Ukraine.
One of the major battles in the Soviet Union was fought to control Ternopil because it is a rail transportation hub. After the war, the destroyed residential section near the river was turned into an artificial lake instead of being rebuilt.
[edit] Population
The current estimated population is 1.1 million people (as of 2004).
[edit] Economy
Although the city continues to grow rapidly, heavily supported by remittances from workers abroad, many abandoned buildings in rural areas of the oblast and even in the city give mute evidence that the economy is uneven.
[edit] Subdivisions
The Ternopil Oblast is administratively subdivided into 17 raions (districts), as well as 1 city (municipality) which is directly subordinate to the oblast government: Ternopil, the administrative center of the oblast.
