Russian legislative constituency
The Dzerzhinsk constituency (No.119)  was a Russian legislative constituency  in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast  in 1993–2007. It covered western Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, including industrial towns of Dzerzhinsk  and Pavlovo . The seat was last occupied by United Russia  faction member Vladimir Stalmakhov , a businessman and FSB  veteran, who defeated incumbent first-term Communist  State Duma  member Vladimir Basov  in the 2003  election.
The constituency was dissolved in 2007 when State Duma adopted full proportional representation  for the next two electoral cycles. Dzerzhinsk constituency was not re-established for the 2016  election, as Nizhny Novgorod Oblast lost its sixth seat, and was partitioned between Avtozavodsky  and Kanavinsky  constituencies.
