Btw, Russia too has this little GerryMander problem, but only a very little-little one.
That is, they have a mixed system, some easily manipulated single-seat-districts but in combination with an overall proportional system.
Unluckily, based on party-lists, but as good as one can come up with if the population is larger than some hundreds of millions.

That was why this UK EU representative, deeply frustrated, shouted that now UK is the most backward democracy in europe.
(some years after 1989, but even UK might now, any decade, now, do what they should have done so many-many decades ago, get rid of their funny two-party-winner-takes-all-system)
Btw, UK euro-members are not elected through those funny single-seat districts, but....ouch...through funny party-list systems..
UK will be funny to watch through their next 2-3 decades..
