The Smolensk constituency (No. 175[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Smolensk Oblast. The constituency covers north part of Smolensk and northern Smolensk Oblast, including Vyazma, Safonovo, Gagarin and Yartsevo.

The constituency has been represented since 2016 by United Russia deputy Sergey Neverov, six-term State Duma member, who served as Deputy Chairman of the Duma in 2011–2020 and 2021–2026 as well as United Russia faction chairman in 2017–2021.

Boundaries

1993–1995: Demidovsky District, Kardymovsky District, Khislavichsky District, Krasninsky District, Monastyrshchinsky District, Pochinkovsky District, Rudnyansky District, Shumyachsky District, Smolensk, Smolensky District, Velizhsky District, Yershichsky District[2]
The constituency covered the oblast capital Smolensk and western Smolensk Oblast.

1995–2007: Demidovsky District, Kardymovsky District, Khislavichsky District, Krasninsky District, Monastyrshchinsky District, Pochinkovsky District, Rudnyansky District, Shumyachsky District, Smolensk, Smolensky District, Velizhsky District[3][4]
After 1995 redistricting the constituency was slightly altered, losing rural Yershichsky District at the southern tip of Smolensk Oblast to Vyazma constituency.

2016–2026: Demidovsky District, Dorogobuzhsky District, Dukhovshchinsky District, Gagarinsky District, Kholm-Zhirkovsky District, Novoduginsky District, Rudnyansky District, Safonovsky District, Smolensk (Zadneprovsky), Smolensky District (Divasovskoye, Gnezdovskoye, Kasplyanskoye, Katynskoye, Korokhotkinskoye, Loinskoye, Novoselskoye, Pecherskoye, Smetaninskoye, Stabenskoye, Volokovskoye, Vyazginskoye), Sychyovsky District, Tyomkinsky District, Ugransky District, Velizhsky District, Vyazemsky District, Yartsevsky District[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only Zadneprovsky City District of Smolensk and north-western corner of Smolensk Oblast, losing the rest to new Roslavl constituency. This seat instead gained north-eastern Smolensk Oblast from the dissolved Vyazma constituency.

Since 2026: Demidovsky District, Desnogorsk, Dorogobuzhsky District, Dukhovshchinsky District, Gagarinsky District, Glinkovsky District, Kardymovsky District, Khislavichsky District, Kholm-Zhirkovsky District, Krasninsky District, Monastyrshchinsky District, Novoduginsky District, Pochinkovsky District, Roslavlsky District, Rudnyansky District, Safonovsky District, Shumyachsky District, Smolensk, Smolensky District, Sychyovsky District, Tyomkinsky District, Ugransky District, Velizhsky District, Vyazemsky District, Yartsevsky District, Yelninsky District, Yershichsky District[6]
After the 2025 redistricting Smolensk Oblast lost one of its two constituencies, so both Smolensk and Roslavl constituencies were merged into a single constituency, covering the entirety of Smolensk Oblast.
