Gogolevsky Boulevard

Gogolevsky Boulevard (until 1924 – Prechistensky Boulevard) is a boulevard in the Central Administrative District of Moscow, part of the Boulevard Ring. The boulevard runs from Prechistenskiye Gate Square to Arbat Gate Square.

Numbering is conducted from the Prechistensky Gate Square. On the odd side, Gagarinsky Lane and Sivtsev Vrazhek overlook the boulevard, and on the even side, Kolymazhny Lane.

The boulevard is three-stage – its passages and the boulevard between them are located at different height levels. So, the inner passage, relative to the ring, is on the upper step, the boulevard itself is on the middle, and the outer passage is on the lower. Such a relief of the boulevard was formed because the Chertory (Chertoroi) stream, which washed the outer slope of the rampart of the White City and flowed at the site of the outer passage of the boulevard, had banks of different heights.
