Gogol Street (Russian: Улица Гоголя) is a street in Tsentralny and Dzerzhinsky districts of Novosibirsk, Russia. It consists of two fragments. The first fragment starts at the intersection with Sovetskaya and Chelyuskintsev streets and runs east, crosses Krasny Avenue, Michurin, Kamenskaya, Shamshin Family, Olga Zhilina, Ippodromskaya streets and forms the intersection with the Seleznyov and Koshurnikov streets, then the street is interrupted by Beryozovaya Roshcha Park. The second street fragment branches off from Dzerzhinsky Prospekt, then runs north-east parallel to it, crosses Krasin, Korolyov, Kombinatskaya streets and connects with Trikotazhnaya Street.
In 1908, 37 nameless streets of the city received names. Among them, 21 streets were named after Russian writers and one street was named in honor of the Russian painter. This street was named after Nikolai Gogol.[1]
In 1911, the New City Cemetery was opened on the street.[2]
