Bratsk Reservoir ((ロシア語:Бра́тское водохрани́лище), ''Bratskoye Reservoir'') is a reservoir on the Angara River, located in Irkutsk Oblast,〔Partly in the Ust-Orda Buryat Okrug〕 Russia. It is named after the city of Bratsk, the largest city adjacent to the reservoir. It has a surface area of and a maximum volume of 169.27 × 1012 litres (37.2 × 1012 gallons).〔''Great Soviet Encyclopedia'', entry on (Братское водохранилище )〕 The concrete dam of the Bratsk hydroelectric plant was completed in 1967. It is high and long. The Baikal Amur Mainline railroad runs along the top of the dam. At the time of its inauguration, the reservoir was the largest artificial lake in the world.〔George St. George. ''Siberia: The New Frontier''. D. McKay Co, 1969. Page 147.〕 Its electrical power capacity is 4,500 MW.〔 ==In literature== The epic construction of the Bratsk Dam is the subject of a large eponymous poem by Yevgeny Yevtushenko. Much later (1976), the impact of the reservoir construction on the life of the villagers upstream, many of whom had to be relocated from the flooded areas, or lost some the best lands of their collective farms, became the motive of Valentin Rasputin's novel ''Farewell to Matyora''. 〔 (Translated by Antonina W.
