Taganrog constituency
Russian legislative constituency in Rostov Oblast
The Taganrog constituency (No.151) is a Russian legislative constituency in Rostov Oblast. The constituency covers western Rostov Oblast, including the industrial city Taganrog, and stretches to north-western Rostov-on-Don.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Sergey Burlakov, a businessman and karate paralympian, who won the open seat left vacant by the resignation of one-term United Russia deputy Yury Kobzev in December 2020.
Boundaries
1993–1995: Aksaysky District, Kuybyshevsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Myasnikovsky District, Neklinovsky District, Novocherkassk, Taganrog
The constituency stretched from Rostov-on-Don northern and north-eastern suburbs to western Rostov Oblast and covered the cities Novocherkassk and Taganrog.
1995–2007: Azov, Azovsky District, Kagalnitsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Neklinovsky District, Taganrog
After the 1995 redistricting Rostov Oblast gained the seventh constituency, so all other districts were redrawn. Taganrog constituency lost its eastern portion: Novocherkassk was given to new Belaya Kalitva constituency, Aksaysky District – to Proletarsky constituency, Myasnikovsky District – to Rostov constituency, while Kuybyshevsky District was drawn into Shakhty constituency. This seat instead gained the entirety of the Azov Sea coast and Rostov-on-Don southern suburbs and exurbs, including Azov, from the former Rostov-Sovetsky constituency.
2016–2026: Kuybyshevsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Myasnikovsky District (Bolshesalskoye, Chaltyrskoye, Krasnokrymskoye, Krymskoye, Petrovskoye), Neklinovsky District, Rostov-on-Don (Oktyabrsky), Taganrog
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only its northern half, losing Kagalnitsky District to Rostov constituency, Azov and Azovsky District – to new Nizhnedonskoy constituency. This seat instead re-gained Kuybyshevsky District from Shakhty constituency as well as was drawn to grab north-western Rostov-on-Don and most of Myasnikovsky District from the former Rostov constituency.
Since 2026 Neklinovsky constituency: Kuybyshevsky District, Matveyevo-Kurgansky District, Myasnikovsky District, Neklinovsky District, Novoshakhtinsk, Oktyabrsky District (Alekseyevskoye, Bessergenevskoye, Kamenolomni, Kommunarskoye, Krasnokutskoye, Krasnoluchskoye, Krasyukovskoye, Krivyanskoye, Mokrologskoye, Persianovskoye), Rodionovo-Nesvetaysky District, Taganrog
Following the 2025 redistricting Rostov Oblast lost one of its seven constituencies, so all the remaining seats saw major changes.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111953584. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2020, 1993 and 1995.
