Fedyakovo (disambiguation) is a large suburb of Nizhny Novgorod, a village of the Bolshoye Yelnino rural council of Kstovo District, Nizhny Novgorod Region. It is known for the nearby MEGA shopping mall and the working cemetery of the same name.

History

In the early 1980s, construction of the Gorky Nuclear Heat Supply Station (GAST) began near this village. Although the building was largely finished, the station was never brought into operation. At the treatment facilities, sold off for next to nothing, vodka (ROOM) and lemonades were bottled here.

In 2006 the MEGA shopping centre opened next to Fedyakovo.
