Oleg Nikolayevich Smolin (Russian: Оле́г Никола́евич Смо́лин; born 10 February 1952) is a Russian politician. He is a State Duma deputy, as a member of the Communist Party.[1][2] He is blind, and was the vice president of the Russian Paralympic committee.[3]

He was the only member of the State Duma who voted against the recognition of the separatist Lugansk People's Republic. But he then stated that he made a mistake when casting his vote, and asked to correct the vote tally.[4]

However, he later said that he was "shocked" by the invasion and express that "military force should be used in politics only as a last resort"[5]
