Yugskaya Dorofeeva Pustyn, Orthodox monastery in Rybinsky District, Russia.
The monastery stands at the confluence of the Dark Yug and White Yug rivers, 17 kilometers from Rybinsk city and 18 kilometers from Mologa.
Founded in 1615 after monk Dorofey from Pskov-Pechery Monastery received a vision of the Virgin Mary, establishing a religious center in the region.
The monastery contained five churches and maintained a clinic that provided medical care to approximately 5,000 people annually during its active period.
The monastery grounds were partially submerged during the creation of the Rybinsk Reservoir, with remaining structures visible from the surrounding area.
The monastery housed the original Yugskaya Icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria until 1915, when a copy replaced the venerated artifact.
