'''Holy Dormition Monastery of Sviyazhsk''' is a [[monastery]] for [[monk|men]] now on the island of Sviyazhsk, located at the confluence of the Volga and Sviyaga Rivers upstream from the city of Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia. The monastery was established in mid sixteenth century. It became a major institution associated with Christianity in the [[Diocese of Kazan]]. After being severely damaged during the Soviet time, restoration of the monastery and its dependency, the St. John the Forerunner [[Convent]], has been in progress since 1997.
