The Privolzhsky constituency (No.26[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Tatarstan. The constituency covers north-central Tatarstan, stretching from central and southern Kazan eastwards to Yelabuga. The present day Privolzhsky constituency was created in 2015 from some Kazan parts of the 1995–2007 version of this seat and rural central Tatarstan from Nizhnekamsk constituency.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Ilia Volfson, a construction businessman, who won the open seat after defeating three-term United Russia incumbent Fatikh Sibagatullin in the primary.
Boundaries
1993–1995: Kazan (Leninsky, Privolzhsky, Sovetsky, Vakhitovsky)[2]
The constituency was based entirely in Kazan and covered most of the city, including its central, southern and eastern districts.
1995–2007: Kazan (Novo-Savinovsky, Privolzhsky, Sovetsky, Vakhitovsky)[3][4]
The constituency was slightly changed after the 1995 redistricting, as Leninsky city district of Kazan was divided between Aviastroitelny and Novo-Savinovsky districts in 1994: Privolzhsky constituency retained only Novo-Savinovsky, while Aviastroitelny was placed into Moskovsky constituency. Privolzhsky constituency also gained former Baumansky city district, which was merged into Vakhitovsky in 1994, from the Moskovsky constituency.
2016–2026: Baltasinsky District, Kazan (Privolzhsky, Vakhitovsky), Kukmorsky District, Laishevsky District, Mamadyshsky District, Rybno-Slobodsky District, Sabinsky District, Yelabuzhsky District[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election. This seat retained only Privolzhsky and Vakhitovsky city districts of Kazan, losing the rest to new Central constituency. The constituency gained rural north-central Tatarstan, stretching along the Kama river to Yelabuga as well from the former Nizhnekamsk constituency.
Since 2026: Baltasinsky District, Kazan (Privolzhsky, Vakhitovsky), Kukmorsky District, Laishevsky District, Mamadyshsky District, Pestrechinsky District, Rybno-Slobodsky District, Sabinsky District, Tyulyachinsky District[6]
After the 2025 redistricting the constituency was slightly altered, losing Yelabuzhsky District to Nizhnekamsk constituency and gaining Pestrechinsky and Tyulyachinsky districts from Central constituency.
