The Shakhty constituency (No.154[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Rostov Oblast. The constituency covers most of coal-mining Eastern Donbass. After 2025 redistricting Rostov Oblast is slated to lose one of its seven constituencies, so Shakhty constituency is going to be dissolved and partitioned between Neklinovsky, Belaya Kalitva and Ust-Donetsky constituencies.

The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Yekaterina Stenyakina, Member of Legislative Assembly of Rostov Oblast, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Maksim Shchablykin.

Boundaries

1993–1995: Bagayevsky District, Gukovo, Krasnosulinsky District, Krasny Sulin, Novoshakhtinsk, Oktyabrsky District, Rodionovo-Nesvetaysky District, Shakhty, Ust-Donetsky District, Zverevo[2]
The constituency covered coal-mining Eastern Donbass in western Rostov Oblast, including the cities Gukovo, Krasny Sulin, Novoshakhtinsk, Shakhty and Zverevo.

1995–2007: Gukovo, Krasnosulinsky District, Krasny Sulin, Novoshakhtinsk, Kuybyshevsky District, Rodionovo-Nesvetaysky District, Shakhty, Zverevo[3][4]
After the 1995 redistricting Rostov Oblast gained the seventh constituency, so all other districts were redrawn. The constituency retained most of its territory, losing Bagayevsky, Oktyabrsky and Ust-Donetsky districts to new Belaya Kalitva constituency. This seat instead gained Kuybyshevsky District to its west from Taganrog constituency.

2016–2026: Gukovo, Krasnosulinsky District, Novoshakhtinsk, Oktyabrsky District, Rodionovo-Nesvetaysky District, Shakhty, Zverevo[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained almost all of its former territory, losing only Kuybyshevsky District to Taganrog constituency. This seat re-gained Oktyabrsky District from the former Belaya Kalitva constituency.
