(2699) Kalinin is an asteroid of the main middle belt , which was discovered by the Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Tschernych on December 16, 1976 at the Crimean Observatory in Nautschnyj ( IAU code 095). The asteroid had already been sighted on October 20, 1950 under the provisional name 1950 UH at the Goethe Link Observatory in Indiana .

The mean distance from the sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid roughly correspond to the Maria family, a group of asteroids named after (170) Maria .

As part of the Argentine program La Asociación de Observatorios Argentinos de Cuerpos Menores (AOACM), the light curve of the asteroid was examined. However, the observations in November and December 2010 were not informative enough to be able to reliably determine the rotation period. Analyzes of the light curve with the 50 cm Ritchey-Chrétien telescope at the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in Coonabarabran , New South Wales in September 2014 were also unsuccessful.

(2699) Kalinin was named on July 24, 1983 after Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin (1875-1946), who was head of state of the Russian SFSR from 1919 to 1922 and from 1923 to 1946 as chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the formal head of state of the Soviet Union.
