Novinskiy Boulevard is a street in Presnenskiy and Arbat districts of Moscow.Initially, the street was called Novinsky Val after the Vvedensky Bogoroditsky Monastery, also called Novinsky (founded in 1410, abolished in 1764).

Other versions, deriving the name from novins - canvases made by nuns, or from the name of the prophet Jesus Navin, are not confirmed.

The monastery was located behind Zemlyanoy Val, to the north of today's Novy Arbat; its territory included today's Konyushkovskaya Street and the ponds in the lower reaches of the Presnya.
