Yugskaya Dorofeeva Pustyn, Orthodox monastery in Rybinsky District, Russia.

Yugskaya Dorofeeva Pustyn was an Orthodox male monastery at the confluence of the Yug Chernaya and Yug Belaya rivers, near the Volga. It had five churches, including the Trinity Cathedral and the gate church of the Dormition, plus a hospital and outpatient clinic. The site was flooded by the Rybinsk Reservoir.

A monk from a nearby monastery founded this hermitage in the early 1600s, drawn to the confluence of the two rivers as a place of solitude. Over the following centuries the community grew and the site became a recognized religious center in the Volga region.

The monastery's main relic was the Yugskaya Icon of the Mother of God (Odigitria), believed to be the icon the Virgin gave Dorofei in 1615. From 1701, cross processions with the icon went regularly to Rybnaya Sloboda (Rybinsk), and from 1786 to Mologa, Myshkin, Uglich and Poshekhonye. A copy made in 1915 survives in the Dormition Church of Balobanovo; the original was lost. Since 2015 a memorial cross near Svignino draws hundreds of pilgrims each year.

The monastery sits far from major towns and can only be reached via unpaved tracks, so a sturdy vehicle is a good idea. There are few services nearby, so bringing supplies and allowing extra travel time is advisable.

The hermitage takes its name from its founder, a monk called Dorofei, whose name survives in the full title of the site even though he left almost no written record behind. A venerated icon that once drew pilgrims from distant places was later moved away and replaced with a copy, changing how the site was visited over time.
