Rubtsovsk constituency

The Rubtsovsk constituency (No.40^[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Altai Krai. The constituency covers central Altai Krai, stretching from Barnaul to Rubtsovsk in the Krai's southwestern corner. After 2025 redistricting Altai Krai is slated to lose one of its four constituencies, so Rubtsovsk constituency is going to be dissolved and partitioned between Barnaul and Slavgorod constituencies.
