Darwin Street starts from Pushkinskaya Street near the Beketova metro station and then goes towards the Kharkiv River. The length of the street is about 700 meters, the street is relatively short, and yet lively. Darwin Street ends at a turn to Kulykivska Street (Melnykova Street).
At the beginning of the second half of the 18th century, the entire huge section of the Nagorno-Karabakh region from the current Moscow Avenue to the street. Gudanova and from the Zhuravlivsky slope of the Kharkiv river to the street Pushkinskaya belonged to Colonel Kulikovsky of the Kharkiv Cossack Regiment. Kulykova Hora was named after him, where Kulykivska and Sadovo-Kulykivska (Darvina) streets are located.
Interestingly, the former millionaire Kulikovskaya lived on Sadovo-Kulikovskaya on her former land in one of the rooms of her former house in the USSR until the end of the 1920s, and her son, Guards Colonel of the Cuirassier Regiment Nikolai Kulikovsky, who became the husband of the Emperor's sister on November 4, 1916. Nicholas II Olga Alexandrovna, at this time was already in exile, in Denmark, in the homeland of his wife's mother.
