Moscow City Duma District 43 is one of 45 constituencies in Moscow City Duma. Currently the district covers parts of Central and North-Western Moscow. Government of Russia is located within district's boundaries.
The district has been represented since 2024 by United Russia deputy Svetlana Akulova, a Moscow Zoo director, who succeeded retiring one-term My Moscow incumbent Roman Babayan after Babayan was redistricted there from District 5.
2014–2024: Arbat, Khamovniki, Presnensky[2]
The district was created prior to the 2014 election, after Moscow City Duma had been expanded from 35 to 45 seats. It covers western parts of Central Moscow.
2024–present: Presnensky, Khoroshyovo-Mnyovniki[3]
During the 2023–24 Moscow redistricting the district was completely overhauled, retaining only Presnensky District from its old configuration, while Arbat was moved into District 45 and Khamovniki – to District 44. The new District 43 also took Khoroshyovo-Mnyovniki in North-Western Moscow from the old District 5.
