Nina Alexandrovna Ostanina (Russian: Нина Александровна Останина; born 26 December 1955) is a Russian Communist politician. She has been a member of the State Duma since 1995.

She was Secretary of the Kemerovo regional Communist party organization.[1]

Career[edit]

She was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Kemerovo Oblast in the 1997 Russian gubernatorial elections.[2]

She unsuccessfully contested Rubtsovsk constituency at the 2016 Russian legislative election.

In July 2022, she co-sponsored a bill that would ban "the denial of family values" and the promotion of "non-traditional sexual orientations." In an interview, she further stated that "a traditional family is a union of a man and woman, it’s children, it’s a multi-generational family."[3][4]

Sanctions[edit]

She was one of the 324 members of the State Duma sanctioned by the United States Treasury in March 2022 in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5]
