The Kanavinsky constituency (No.132[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. The constituency stretches from central Nizhny Novgorod to western Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, including the city Dzerzhinsk.
The constituency has been represented since 2016 by United Russia deputy Vadim Bulavinov, six-term State Duma member and former Mayor of Nizhny Novgorod.
1993–1995: Nizhny Novgorod (Kanavinsky, Leninsky, Moskovsky, Sormovsky)[3]
The constituency covered central and northern Nizhny Novgorod on the left bank of Oka.
1995–2007: Nizhny Novgorod (Kanavinsky, Moskovsky, Nizhegorodsky, Sormovsky)[4][5]
After 1995 the constituency was significantly altered, swapping Leninsky City District for Nizhegorodsky City District with Avtozavodsky constituency.
2016–present: Balakhninsky District, Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod (Kanavinsky, Moskovsky), Volodarsky District[6][7]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only Kanavinsky, Moskovsky city districts, losing Nizhegorodsky City District to Nizhny Novgorod constituency and Sormovsky City District to Bor constituency. This seat was pushed to the west, gaining Dzerzhinsk from the dissolved Dzerzhinsk constituency as well as rural Balakhninsky and Volodarsky districts from the former Semyonov constituency.
