The Venerable Dalmat, founder of the Assumption Dalmatov Monastery, was a nobleman who served in the army for many years before taking monastic vows. Dalmat's father, Ivan Mokrinsky, originally from the Ryazan region, found himself in Siberia, and in 1594, when his eldest son Dmitry was born, he was already a Cossack ataman in Beryozov. In 1628, the Mokrinsky family, with the saint's mother being a baptized Tatar, indicating that Ivan married her in Siberia, moved to Tobolsk. Dmitry Mokrinsky served for about six years in the Vagay ostrog, and in 1636 returned to Tobolsk, where he already had a family. His son, Archimandrite Isaac, wrote about his father's life: "Not very wealthy, but living without great poverty, building his house in abundance, diligently attending church according to his faith without need." This testimony shows that the future saint, while fulfilling secular duties and engaging in house building, aspired to a spiritual life.

A turning point was likely the death of his wife. After that, Dmitry Mokrinsky found himself in Nevyansk, at the Epiphany Monastery, where he took monastic vows under the name Dalmat. At the age of fifty, he left the monastery when the brotherhood offered him the position of abbot and headed south, taking only an icon of the Assumption of the Mother of God with him. After covering about 250 kilometers, he settled on the left bank of the Iset River, where he devoted himself to prayer. The land where Dalmat settled belonged to a Tatar named Iligei, who was initially hostile but changed his attitude after a manifestation of the Mother of God, gifting the land for the monastery and providing Dalmat with a helmet and chainmail. Soon, disciples began to come to him, and a new community with a wooden chapel emerged. In 1651, the monastery was destroyed by Kalmyks, but the icon of the Assumption of the Mother of God miraculously survived and became revered as miraculous.

Dalmat and his son Isaac, who took monastic vows, restored the monastery, built a wooden church and cells. In 1664, the monastery received a denunciation for not celebrating the name day of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, but Dalmat explained that only prayers for health are served during fasts. In 1666, Isaac became the first official abbot. Dalmat lived to be 103 years old and was buried in the altar of the Assumption Church. At the beginning of the 18th century, stone construction began, and a grand Assumption Cathedral, unique in architecture, was erected. The monastery was renowned in the 18th century, with icon painters working there, and it had a library and seminary. Construction continued in the 19th and early 20th centuries. After the revolution, the monastery was closed, many relics were lost, and the buildings were used for economic needs.

In 1992, the monastery was revived, and restoration work has been ongoing since then. In 1994, the relics of the Venerable Dalmat were discovered, becoming the main shrine. Since 2001, the region has participated in the "Culture of Russia" program, which has facilitated restoration work. The gate church and the roof of the northern cells have been restored. Restoration of the church "All Who Sorrow Rejoice" is underway. The work is funded from the federal budget as well as from the monastery's own resources. Since 2008, the monastery's protection has been managed by the Culture Department of the Kurgan region, which conducted an assessment of the sites and developed a protection zone project. About 20-30 people live on the monastery grounds, but its potential has not yet been fully realized. In the future, it is planned to use the monastery for educational and cultural purposes, which will allow for the restoration of historical buildings and attract additional funds for restoration. However, the restoration of the Assumption Cathedral remains a challenging task, and the work is funded from the federal budget.
