Moscow City Duma electoral constituency
Moscow City Duma District 8 is one of 45 constituencies in Moscow City Duma. Currently the district covers parts of Northern Moscow.
The district has been represented since 2024 by United Russia deputy Andrey Medvedev,[a] a journalist and two-term member, who was redistricted from District 9.
Boundaries
1993–2001: Altufyevsky, Bibirevo, Lianozovo, Severny
The district covered outer parts of North-Eastern Moscow.
2001–2005: Altufyevsky, Bibirevo, Lianozovo, part of Otradnoye, Severny
The district continued to cover outer parts of North-Eastern Moscow and gained part of Otradnoye from District 11.

The district was completely reconfigured as it was placed into Southern and South-Eastern Moscow, overlapping the then-eliminated State Duma Avtozavodsky constituency.
2009–2014: Kuzminki, Lefortovo, Nekrasovka, Nizhegorodsky, Pechatniki, Ryazansky, Tekstilshchiki, Yuzhnoportovy[3]
The district was rearranged prior to the 2009 election, after the number of constituencies was increased from 15 to 17. The district retained much of its former territory in South-Eastern Moscow, losing its former part of Southern Moscow to District 10 and in exchange gaining Kuzminki and Nekrasovka from District 9.

During the 2023–24 Moscow redistricting most of the former district was renumbered District 7. In its new configuration the district took almost all of former District 9, except for a small part of Khoroshyovsky District, which was placed into District 7.
