The constituency was heavily altered following the 1995 redistricting as Leningrad Oblast gained a third district. This seat lost western part of Gatchinsky District, including Gatchina, to new Kingisepp constituency as well as Kirovsky District to Vsevolozhsk constituency.

After the 2025 redistricting the constituency was significantly changed, losing the rest of Gatchinsky District to Kingisepp constituency. This seat instead was pushed to eastern suburbs of Saint Petersburg, gaining Kirovsky District and a small portion of Vsevolozhsky District (including the megasuburb Kudrovo) from Vsevolozhsk constituency.
