Legislative constituency in Russia
The Ulyanovsk constituency (No.187[ a] ) is a Russian legislative constituency in Ulyanovsk Oblast . The constituency covers northern half of Ulyanovsk , districts on the left bank of the Volga river , including Dimitrovgrad , as well as some rural areas to the south of Ulyanovsk.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Vladimir Kononov , three-term State Duma member, businessman and investor, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term Communist incumbent Alexey Kurinny after the latter successfully sought re-election only through party-list representation.
1993–1995 Leninsky constituency : Cherdaklinsky District , Dimitrovgrad , Melekessky District , Nikolayevsky District , Novomalyklinsky District , Novospassky District , Pavlovsky District , Radishchevsky District , Starokulatkinsky District , Staromaynsky District , Terengulsky District , Ulyanovsk (Leninsky, Zavolzhsky)[ 2]

After the 1995 redistricting the constituency was significantly altered, retaining only northern Ulyanovsk and losing the rest to Sengiley constituency . This seat instead gained the rest of Ulyanovsk and suburban Ulyanovsky District from the former Zasviyazhsky constituency .
