The Vvedensky Women's Monastery in Ivanovo is located in the city center and was founded in 1991 by Archimandrite Ambrosy Yurasov.

The church, dedicated to the Entry of the Theotokos, is a monument of early 20th-century architecture and was built according to the design of architect P. Begen. In 1918, Patriarch Tikhon served here. For a long time, the state archive was located in the church, a toilet was installed in the Nikolsky chapel, ceilings were added, and crosses were removed. To return the church to the faithful, four women from the Orthodox community of the Vvedensky Church conducted a 16-day hunger strike. Thanks to their efforts, in 1990 the church was handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church. On April 27, 1991, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia signed a decree establishing the Holy Vvedensky Women's Monastery. The founder and spiritual leader of the monastery became Archimandrite Ambrosy Yurasov, and the abbess was Maria Perepecha.

The Vvedensky Church, like many other churches in Ivanovo-Voznesensk, has faced a difficult fate. On October 22, 1935, the church was handed over to the Renovationists, and attendance ceased. In 1938, the authorities closed the church, citing a lack of parishioners. The furnishings and icons were looted, and the building housed the Regional State Archive. In 1942, the first attempt to reopen the church was made, but the authorities refused, stating that "there are no grounds for opening the church." In 1988, with the blessing of Father Ambrosy Yurasov, a group of twenty believers was gathered, which was necessary for the church's reopening. On November 23, the community was registered. In 1989, the faithful actively wrote to the regional executive committee requesting the transfer of the church, gathering three thousand signatures. Bishop Ambrosy sent a letter to the chairman of the regional executive committee, V. Tikhomirov, but received no response. On March 17, an application was submitted for a rally, but the city executive committee refused. Soon, a small community formed around the church, from which the women's monastery emerged. A petition was submitted to Archbishop Ambrosy and His Holiness the Patriarch for the blessing of the monastery. On March 27, 1991, with the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia, the life of the Ivanovo Holy Vvedensky Women's Monastery began.

The monastery has several dependencies. In June 1991, the first dependency, the Transfiguration, was established in the village of Doronino. The dilapidated church was restored, and since 1994, services have been held there daily. On January 2, 2001, the altar was consecrated in honor of the Don Icon of the Mother of God and St. Euphemius the Confessor. At the Transfiguration dependency, the monastery has agricultural land where the sisters grow vegetables, harvest mushrooms and berries, planted an orchard, and maintain a livestock yard with cows and chickens. The village of Doronino is being restored: a three-story brick building, residential houses, a vegetable storage facility, and outbuildings have been constructed. The Pokrovskoye dependency in the village of Zlatooust in the Lezhnevsky district was created in March 1993 in an ancient noble estate, restored within a year. Worship services in the house church began in 1995. A three-story cell building has been constructed at the Pokrovskoye dependency, gasification has been carried out, and there is a monastery cemetery. The sisters of the dependency help orphaned children from the boarding school in the village of Cherntsy. Another dependency, Sergiev Pustyn, is located on a former reindeer farm in the forest zone of the village of Stupkino. Here, there is a monastery garden, a bee yard, and a fish pond. Clergy and altar servers can reside at this dependency.
