## Boundaries

1993–2001: Kosino-Ukhtomsky, Novogireyevo, Novokosino, Veshnyaki The district covered outer parts of Eastern Moscow.
2001–2005: Kosino-Ukhtomsky, part of Novogireyevo, Novokosino, Veshnyaki The district continued to cover outer parts of Eastern Moscow but lost part of Novogireyevo to District 15.
2005–2009: constituency abolished Prior to the 2005 election the number of constituencies was reduced to 15, so the district was eliminated.
2009–2014: Filyovsky Park, Khoroshyovo-Mnyovniki, Krylatskoye, Kuntsevo, Strogino The district was created prior to the 2009 election, after the number of constituencies was increased from 15 to 17. The district was based in North-Western and Western Moscow, which were previously divided between districts 3 and 14
2014–2024: Bogorodskoye, Preobrazhenskoye, part of Sokolinaya Gora The district was completely rearranged in the 2014 redistricting as it was moved to cover inner parts of Eastern Moscow.
2024–present: part of Novogireyevo, Perovo, Sokolinaya Gora During the 2023–24 Moscow redistricting most of the district was functionally eliminated as most of its territory was divided between 14 (Bogorodskoye) and 15 (Preobrazhenskoye). In its new configuration the district retained only part of Sokolinaya Gora, uniting it with the rest of the raion from former District 17, while most of the current district came from districts 17 (Perovo) and 19 (Novogireyevo).
