“The State Duma consists of 450 deputies, half of them are on lists, half are in single-member districts. The elections were last year, the term of office— five years. Next elections — in 2026. <…> That is, now it is impossible to elect deputies in new territories without changing the scheme of single-mandate constituencies, without holding elections,»,— said the parliamentarian.

If we have four new constituent entities, without naturally running ahead, then state authorities, heads of the highest executive body, heads of the territories of these constituent entities and the legislative bodies of these constituent entities can appoint senators from these territories, — said Vyatkin.
