The Arsenyev constituency (No.64[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Primorsky Krai. The constituency covers sparsely populated northern 3/4 of Primorsky Krai and a major port of Nakhodka.
The constituency has been represented since 2016 by United Russia deputy Victoria Nikolaeva, a businesswoman and sister of former Vladivostok mayor Vladimir Nikolayev.
1993–1995: Anuchinsky District, Arsenyev, Chernigovsky District, Chuguyevsky District, Dalnegorsk, Dalnegorsky District, Dalnerechensk, Dalnerechensky District, Kavalerovsky District, Khankaysky District, Khorolsky District, Kirovsky District, Krasnoarmeysky District, Lesozavodsk, Lesozavodsky District, Mikhaylovsky District, Olginsky District, Pogranichny District, Pozharsky District, Spassk-Dalny, Spassky District, Terneysky District, Yakovlevsky District[2]
The constituency covered all of northern Primorsky Krai, which comprised three fourth of the entire krai territory, including the towns of Arsenyev, Dalnegorsk, Dalnerechensk, Lesozavodsk and Spassk-Dalny.
1995–2007: Anuchinsky District, Arsenyev, Chernigovsky District, Chuguyevsky District, Dalnegorsk, Dalnegorsky District, Dalnerechensk, Dalnerechensky District, Kavalerovsky District, Khankaysky District, Khorolsky District, Kirovsky District, Krasnoarmeysky District, Lesozavodsk, Lesozavodsky District, Oktyabrsky District, Olginsky District, Pogranichny District, Pozharsky District, Spassk-Dalny, Spassky District, Terneysky District, Yakovlevsky District[3][4] After 1995 redistricting the constituency changed insignificantly, swapping Mikhaylovsky District for Oktyabrsky District with Ussuriysk constituency.
2016–present: Anuchinsky District, Arsenyev, Chuguyevsky District, Dalnegorsk, Dalnerechensk, Dalnerechensky District, Kavalerovsky District, Kirovsky District, Krasnoarmeysky District, Lazovsky District, Lesozavodsk, Nakhodka, Olginsky District, Partizansk, Partizansky District, Pozharsky District, Terneysky District, Yakovlevsky District[5][6]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and it retained most of its former territory in northern Primorsky Krai, losing its western side on the shore of the Lake Khanka to Vladivostok constituency, and Spassk-Dalny and Khorol to Artyom constituency. This seat instead gained Partizansk, Nakhodka and surrounding areas in southern Primorsky Krai from the dissolved Ussuriysk constituency.
