Novosokolniki () is a town and the administrative center of Novosokolnichesky District in Pskov Oblast, Russia, located on the Maly Udray River at the junction of the St. Petersburg–Kyiv and Moscow–Riga railways, southeast of Pskov, the administrative center of the oblast. Population:
==History== It was founded in 1901 due to construction of the railway between Moscow and Riga. At the time, it was a part of Velikoluksky Uyezd in Pskov Governorate. The name is due to the nearby locality then known as Sokolniki, whose name in turn is derived from the Russian word "" (sokol, meaning "falcon"), since the residents specialized on breeding falcons for hunting. Novosokolniki was granted town status in 1925.
