Kalininsky constituency (Bashkortostan)

The Kalininsky constituency (No.3^[a]) was a Russian legislative constituency in Bashkortostan in 1993–2007. It covered most of rural northern and north-eastern Bashkiria as well as a small arm to Kalininsky city district of Ufa. The seat was last occupied by United Russia deputy Franis Saifullin, who carpetbagged in 2003 from Tuymazy constituency and defeated first-term People's Party incumbent Vladimir Pevtsov.
