Gudok (whistle) was the name given to the railway industry newspaper in the Soviet Union. The newspaper's printing and publishing house was located in Moscow at 7 Stankevich Street (Voznesenskii Lane), a street named after Alexander Stankevich (1821-1912), Russian writer, biographer and publisher. From the end of the nineteenth century until 1918, the building on Stankevich Street held the editorial offices of the liberal newspaper "Russian News" (Russkie vedomosti). The newspaper was closed by the Bolsheviks.
