Boundaries

1993–1995: Nizhny Novgorod (Avtozavodsky, Nizhegorodsky, Sovetsky) ^[2]
The constituency covered central and western Nizhny Novgorod.

1995–2007: Nizhny Novgorod (Avtozavodsky, Leninsky, Sovetsky) ^{[3] [4]}
After 1995 the constituency was significantly altered, swapping Nizhegorodsky City District for Leninsky City District with Kanavinsky constituency.

2016–present: Ardatovsky District, Bogorodsky District (Aleshkovsky, Bogorodsk, Doskinsky, Dudenevsky, Khvoshchevsky, Shapkinsky), Kulebaki, Navashino, Nizhny Novgorod (Avtozavodsky), Pavlovsky District, Sosnovsky District, Vachsky District, Voznesensky District, Vyksa ^{[5] [6]}
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only Avtozavodsky City District of Nizhny Novgorod, losing Sovetsky City District to Nizhny Novgorod constituency and Leninsky City District to Prioksky constituency. This seat instead gained most ruralities and towns of the former Dzerzhinsk constituency as well as Kulebaksky, Voznesensky and Vyksunsky districts in the south-western corner from Arzamas constituency.
