The Southern constituency (No.152 [a] ) is a Russian legislative constituency in Rostov Oblast. The constituency covers eastern Rostov-on-Don, major industrial city Novocherkassk as well as suburbs and exurbs between them.

Contents

The constituency has been represented since the 2024 by-election by United Russia deputy Viktoria Abramchenko, Deputy Chairwoman of the State Duma and former Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, who won the seat left vacant by the resignation of one-term United Russia deputy Vitaly Kushnarev in May 2024.

Boundaries

1993–1995 Rostov-Pervomaysky constituency: Rostov-on-Don (Kirovsky, Leninsky, Pervomaysky, Proletarsky, Voroshilovsky, Zheleznodorozhny) [2]
The constituency covered central and eastern Rostov-on-Don, including the city centre.

1995–2007 Proletarsky constituency: Aksaysky District, Bataysk, Rostov-on-Don (Pervomaysky, Proletarsky, Voroshilovsky) [3] [4]
After the 1995 redistricting Rostov Oblast gained the seventh constituency, so all other districts were redrawn. The constituency was renamed as "Proletarsky constituency" and retained only eastern Rostov-on-Don, losing the rest of the city to Rostov constituency. This seat instead gained suburban Aksaysky District to its east from Taganrog constituency as well satellite city Bataysk to the south from Rostov-Sovetsky constituency.

2016–2026: Aksaysky District (Aksay, Bolshelogskoye, Grushevskoye, Mishkinskoye, Rassvetovskoye, Shchepkinskoye, Starocherkasskoye), Novocherkassk, Rostov-on-Don (Pervomaysky, Voroshilovsky) [5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election under the name "Southern constituency" and retained most of its territory, losing Proletarsky City District and southern Aksaysky District to Rostov constituency, and Bataysk – to new Nizhnedonskoy constituency. This seat instead gained industrial city Novocherkassk from the former Belaya Kalitva constituency.

Since 2026 Novocherkassk constituency: Aksaysky District, Bagayevsky District, Novocherkassk, Rostov-on-Don (Pervomaysky, Voroshilovsky) [6]
Following the 2025 redistricting Rostov Oblast lost one of its seven constituencies, so all the remaining seats saw major changes. The constituency took the name "Novocherkassk constituency" and retained all of its former territory, gaining the rest of Aksaysky District and Bagayevsky District from Rostov constituency.
