On March 25, 1568, Tsar Ivan IV granted Yakov Anikievich Stroganov the Chusovaya River. In 1572, Yakov allowed monk Trifon to choose a location on this river for setting up a cell.
In 1579, after a fire set by Trifon that destroyed firewood prepared for the Stroganovs' salt production, Grigory Stroganov expelled him from his lands.
On October 8, 1612, Archimandrite Trifon peacefully passed away in the monastery he built in the city of Khlynov. On August 2, 1690, he was canonized as the Venerable and God-bearing Trifon, Archimandrite of Vyatka, Miracle Worker.
On September 11, 1864, a church in the name of the Assumption of the Mother of God was consecrated, built with the funds of parishioners in the village of Uspenskoe, Perm district. Currently, the village of Uspenka is part of the Chusovoy district. On November 28, 1916, Bishop Andronic of Perm and Kungur visited the Assumption Church for the last time.
On January 23, 1918, the decree of the SNK "On the separation of church from state and school from church" was issued, resulting in the church building being municipalized. On September 16, 1919, the temporary rector of the church became Priest Alexander Alexandrovich Pastukhov, born in 1883.
By the end of 1919, the last "statement about the Assumption Church, located in the Perm district of the Perm diocese in the village of Uspenskoe" was compiled. On November 22, 1920, the residents of the Uspenskaya volost signed an agreement with the Uspensky Village Council to transfer the church building and items for worship to the believers, making an inventory of the property. Among the items were valuable things and 7 bells on the bell tower. On February 23, 1922, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee adopted a decree on the confiscation of church valuables to aid the starving.
On February 7, 1933, a meeting of citizens of the Dyakovsky land society voted for the closure of the church. On March 7, 1933, the general meeting of members of the Uspensky collective farm named after Stalin and individual farmers requested the closure of the church. On August 27, 1933, the Oblcult commission under the Presidium of the Oblispolkom made the final decision to close the church, and the building was transferred to the school of the collective farm named after Stalin.
On October 13, 1945, an inspection of the church building was conducted for its possible reopening. From 1962 to 1998, the building was used as a club and for the economic needs of the Kulikovsky collective farm. In 1970, a card for accounting architectural monuments was compiled, in which the church was listed as an economic building used for grain storage and a local garage.
On July 4, 1997, Archimandrite Stefan of the Perm Holy Trinity Stefanov Male Monastery appealed to Archbishop Afanasy of Perm and Solikamsk with a request to revive the Holy Assumption Trifon Desert. On November 10, 1997, Archbishop Afanasy blessed this initiative, and the church began to be revived, receiving the status of a skete of the Perm Holy Trinity Stefanov Male Monastery. In 1998, the restoration of the church began. In 2003, an inspection of the building structures was conducted. The monks of the skete recreated the chapel of Venerable Trifon, where an akathist is read. In 2007, a bell tower was built next to the church, and on Easter, one of the parishioners blessed the bells.
