Rubtsovsk constituency

The Rubtsovsk constituency (No.40^[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Altai Krai. The constituency covers central Altai Krai, stretching from Barnaul to Rubtsovsk in the Krai's southwestern corner. After 2025 redistricting Altai Krai is slated to lose one of its four constituencies, so Rubtsovsk constituency is going to be dissolved and partitioned between Barnaul and Slavgorod constituencies.

The constituency has been represented since 2021 by Communist deputy Maria Prusakova, regional party office first secretary, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Viktor Zobnev.

Boundaries

1993–2003: Aleysk, Aleysky District, Belokurikha, Bystroistoksky District, Charyshsky District, Kosikhinsky District, Krasnoshchyokovsky District, Kuryinsky District, Loktevsky District, Petropavlovsky District, Pospelikhinsky District, Rubtsovsk, Rubtsovsky District, Shipunovsky District, Smolensky District, Soloneshensky District, Tretyakovsky District, Troitsky District, Ust-Kalmansky District, Ust-Pristansky District, Yegoryevsky District, Zmeinogorsk, Zmeinogorsky District, Zonalny District^[2][3]
The constituency covered rural central and mountainous southern Altai Krai, including the towns of Rubtsovsk, Aleysk, Zmeinogorsk, and Belokurikha resort.

2003–2007 Aleysk constituency: Aleysk, Aleysky District, Belokurikha, Bystroistoksky District, Charyshsky District, Kosikhinsky District, Krasnoshchyokovsky District, Kuryinsky District, Loktevsky District, Petropavlovsky District, Pospelikhinsky District, Rubtsovsk, Rubtsovsky District, Shipunovsky District, Smolensky District, Soloneshensky District, Tretyakovsky District, Troitsky District, Ust-Kalmansky District, Ust-Pristansky District, Yegoryevsky District, Zmeinogorsk, Zmeinogorsky District, Zonalny District^[4]
The constituency retained its territory but changed its name from Rubtsovsk to Aleysk constituency.

The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election. This seat retained only Rubtsovsk, Aleysk and rural territory between the towns, losing all of southern Altai Krai to Barnaul constituency and its eastern edges to Biysk constituency. The constituency was pushed instead to Barnaul, gaining territories of the former Barnaul constituency (the city itself) and Slavgorod constituency (rural stretch to the city).
