The Zavolzhsky onstituency (No. 180) is a Russian legislative constituency in the Tver Oblast. The constituency covers part of Tver on the left bank of the Volga river as well as central and western Tver Oblast, including the towns Rzhev, Bologoye, Torzhok and Vyshny Volochyok.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Vladimir Vasilyev, former four-term State Duma member for this seat and Head of the Republic of Dagestan, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Sergey Veremeenko after the latter successfully sought re-election only through party-list representation. Vasilyev was elected chairman of the United Russia faction in the State Duma in October 2021, a position he previously held in 2012–2017.
