Boundaries

1993–1995 Rostov-Sovetsky constituency: Azov, Azovsky District, Bataysk, Kagalnitsky District, Rostov-on-Don (Oktyabrsky, Sovetsky), Vesyolovsky District, Yegorlyksky District, Zernogradsky District^[2]
The constituency covered western Rostov-on-Don, its southern suburbs, satellite cities Azov and Bataysk as well as rural south-western Rostov Oblast.

1995–2007: Myasnikovsky District, Rostov-on-Don (Kirovsky, Leninsky, Oktyabrsky, Sovetsky, Zheleznodorozhny)^[3][4]
After the 1995 redistricting Rostov Oblast gained the seventh constituency, so all other districts were redrawn. New Rostov constituency was reconfigured to an almost entirely urban seat, losing Azov and Kagalnitsky District to Taganrog constituency, Bataysk to Proletarsky constituency, Yegorlyksky and Zernogradsky districts – to new Belaya Kalitva constituency. This seat instead gained central Rostov-on-Don from Rostov-Pervomaysky constituency as well as Armenian-majority Myasnikovsky District in the city northern suburbs from Taganrog constituency.

2016–2026: Aksaysky District (Istominskoye, Leninskoye, Olginskoye, Verkhnepodpolnenskoye), Bagayevsky District, Kagalnitsky District, Peschanokopsky District, Rostov-on-Don (Kirovsky, Proletarsky), Salsky District, Tselinsky District, Vesyolovsky District, Yegorlyksky District, Zernogradsky District^[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only downtown Kirovsky City District of Rostov-on-Don, losing western half of the city to new Nizhnedonskoy constituency, while Oktyabrsky City District and Myasnikovsky District were ceded to Taganrog constituency. This seat instead gained Proletarsky City District from Proletarsky constituency as well as rural southern Rostov Oblast from Taganrog, Belaya Kalitva and Volgodonsk constituencies.

Since 2026: Rostov-on-Don (Kirovsky, Leninsky, Oktyabrsky, Proletarsky, Sovetsky, Zheleznodorozhny)^[6]
Following the 2025 redistricting Rostov Oblast lost one of its seven constituencies, so all the remaining seats saw major changes. Rostov constituency was reconfigured to an entirely urban seat, covering most of Rostov-on-Don, except the north-eastern corner of the city, after the seat gained territories from Nizhnedonskoy and Taganrog constituencies. This seat had to shed its rural southern territories to Bataysk constituency.
