Talk:Constituencies of Russia

Foreign territories?
Clicking through a bunch of these I noticed that the infoboxes of many (not most, maybe about every 1 in 3) constituencies have an "other territory" line under their list of districts, listing a country (including partially-recognized ones) with an assumably-significant Russian expatriate population. A long and incomplete but illustrative list: The assignment of foreign territories to constituencies seems random and arbitrary (which is in itself somewhat interesting – but I doubt proper representation of the voter was really any concern, given how gerrymandered these constituencies are anyway), and this article doesn't mention them at all: when did this system come about? Has it always been arbitrary? Do Russians living outside Russia even vote, or even know they have a "representative" based in the provinves? Maybe a country-to-constituency table? oatco (talk) 04:00, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
