The Belaya Kalitva constituency (No.153[ a] ) is a Russian legislative constituency in Rostov Oblast . The constituency covers mostly rural and industrial coal-mining northern Rostov Oblast , including the cities Belaya Kalitva , Donetsk , Kamensk-Shakhtinsky and Millerovo .

The constituency was created after the 1995 redistricting when Rostov Oblast gained seventh district. This seat was based in central Rostov Oblast, stretching from Belaya Kalitva in the north to Yegorlykskaya in the south, which previously were parts of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (Belaya Kalitva ), Shakhty (north-central part), Taganrog (Novocherkassk ), Volgodonsk (south-central part) and Rostov (southern part) constituencies.
2016–2026 : Belokalitvinsky District , Bokovsky District , Chertkovsky District , Donetsk , Kamensk-Shakhtinsky , Kamensky District , Kasharsky District , Millerovsky District , Milyutinsky District , Oblivsky District , Sholokhovsky District , Sovetsky District , Tarasovsky District , Tatsinsky District , Verkhnedonskoy District [ 3] [ 4]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election and retained only Belaya Kalitva and Belokalitvinsky District , losing Novocherkassk to Southern constituency , Oktyabrsky District – to Shakhty constituency , Konstantinovsky ,Semikarakorsky and Ust-Donetsky districts – to Volgodonsk constituency , Bagayevsky , Yegorlyksky and Zernogradsky districts – to Rostov constituency . This seat instead took almost all of the dissolved Kamensk-Shakhtinsky constituency , except Morozovsky District .
Since 2026 : Belokalitvinsky District , Bokovsky District , Chertkovsky District , Donetsk , Kamensk-Shakhtinsky , Kamensky District , Kasharsky District , Krasnosulinsky District , Millerovsky District , Milyutinsky District , Oblivsky District , Sholokhovsky District , Sovetsky District , Tarasovsky District , Tatsinsky District , Verkhnedonskoy District , Zverevo [ 5]
Following the 2025 redistricting Rostov Oblast lost one of its seven constituencies, so all the remaining seats saw major changes. The constituency retained all of its former territory and was pushed to the south-west into Eastern Donbass , gaining coal-mining Gukovo , Zverevo and Krasnosulinsky District from the dissolved Shakhty constituency .
