Boundaries

District boundaries from 2014 to 2024

1993–2001: Ivanovskoye, Perovo
The district covered parts of Eastern Moscow.

2001–2005: Ivanovskoye, part of Novogireyevo, part of Perovo
The district continued to cover parts of Eastern Moscow but lost part of Perovo to District 14, in exchange gaining Novogireyevo from District 16.

2005–2009: Khoroshyovo-Mnyovniki, Kurkino, Mitino, Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo, Severnoye Tushino, Strogino, Severnoye Tushino ^[2]
The district was completely reconfigured as it was placed into mostly North-Western Moscow, overlapping the then-eliminated State Duma Tushino constituency.

2009–2014: Fili-Davydkovo, Mozhaysky, Novo-Peredelkino, Ochakovo-Matveyevskoye, Solntsevo, Troparyovo-Nikulino Vnukovo ^[3]
The district was rearranged prior to the 2009 election, after the number of constituencies was increased from 15 to 17. The district was based in Western Moscow, which were previously divided between districts 13 and 14.

2014–2024: Golyanovo, Metrogorodok, part of Severnoye Izmaylovo ^[4]
The district was completely rearranged in the 2014 redistricting as it was moved to cover outer parts of Eastern Moscow.

2024–present: part of Golyanovo, Preobrazhenskoye, Severnoye Izmaylovo ^[5]
During the 2023–24 Moscow redistricting most of the district retained only parts of Golyanovo and Severnoye Izmaylovo, while the rest of Golyanovo and Metrogorodok were redistricted into District 14. In its new configuration the district gained the rest of Severnoye Izmaylovo from District 18 and Preobrazhenskoye from District 16.
