The Western constituency (No.212[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Saint Petersburg. The constituency covers south-western Saint Petersburg, including its inner suburbs.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Aleksandr Teterdinko, former Member of Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg, who narrowly won the open seat after defeating two-term United Russia incumbent Sergey Vostretsov in the primary.
1993–1995: Kirovsky District (southern part), Krasnoselsky District, Lomonosov, Petrodvorets[2]
The constituency covered south-western Saint Petersburg and its inner suburbs, including the historic towns Lomonosov (Oranienbaum) and Petrodvorets (Petergof).
1995–2003: Kirovsky District (Ulyanka, part of Dachnoye, Municipal Okrug 30), Krasnoselsky District, Lomonosov, Petrodvortsovy District[3]
Following the 1995 redistricting the constituency was slightly changed, losing some precincts to new Admiralteysky constituency.
2003–2007, 2016–2026: Kirovsky District (Dachnoye, Ulyanka), Krasnoselsky District, Petrodvortsovy District[4][5]
After the 2003 redistricting the constituency was slightly altered, swapping Municipal Okrug 30 for the rest of Municipal Okrug 27 with Admiralteysky constituency. This seat did not exist between 2007 and 2016 as State Duma was elected only through proportional representation.
Since 2026: Krasnoselsky District, Kronshtadsky District, Petrodvortsovy District[6]
The constituency was changed following the 2025 redistricting, losing its portion of residential Kirovsky District to Central constituency. This seat instead gained Kronshtadt from North-Western constituency.
