Moscow City Duma District 37 is one of 45 constituencies in Moscow City Duma. Currently the district covers parts of South-Western Moscow, as well as parts of Prospekt Vernadskogo.

The district was previously represented by Yabloko member Vladimir Ryzhkov, a former State Duma member (1994–2007) and People's Freedom Party chairman (2006–2014), who won the 2021 by-election to succeed the late Communist Moscow City Duma Vice Speaker and former actor Nikolay Gubenko, narrowly defeating local activist Darya Bagina. Ryzhkov resigned at his own request in late December 2023 with the City Duma approving his resignation in late January 2024.[2]

Boundaries

2014–2024: Akademichesky, Gagarinsky, Lomonosovsky, parts of Prospekt Vernadskogo[3]
The district was created prior to the 2014 election, after Moscow City Duma had been expanded from 35 to 45 seats. It covers parts of South-Western Moscow, as well as parts of Prospekt Vernadskogo in Western Moscow.

2024–2025: Desyonovskoye, Filimonkovskoye, Kiyevsky, Klyonovskoye, Kokoshkino, Krasnopakhorskoye, Marushkinskoye, Mikhaylovo-Yartsevskoye, Novofyodorovskoye, Pervomayskoye, Rogovskoye, Shchapovskoye, Troitsk, Vnukovo, Voronovskoye[4]
During the 2023–24 Moscow redistricting most of the district's territory was placed into District 35, except for parts of Prospekt Vernadskogo, which was united with the rest of the raion in District 39. In its new configuration the district was created from parts of districts 38 and 39, covering most of New Moscow and Western Moscow's exclave of Vnukovo.

From 2025: Bekasovo, part of Filimonkovsky, Krasnopakhorsky, Troitsk, Voronovo, part of Vnukovo[5]
Due to the adopted consolidation of administrative divisions in New Moscow from January 1, 2025 the district will slightly alter its configuration to correspond with the new municipal districts.
