In 1584 after the defeat of the [[w:Khanate of Sibir|Khanate of Siberia]] the overland way to the east was opened up, and in 1587 [[w:Tobolsk|Tobolsk]] was founded, the historic capital of [[w:Siberia|Siberia]]. With the annexation of Siberia to Russia began the history of Tobolsk and the Siberian diocese, which was approved in 1620 as an Archbishopric, and then transformed into a Metropolis. From here, other Siberian dioceses were subsequently formed.
From the very beginning of its existence the Tobolsk diocese produced many Saints, glorified by the grace of God, beginning with the holy righteous martyr Basil of Mangazea (†1602).

===Others<ref group="note">These 2 Saints were '''not''' officially listed on the website of the ''Department for External Church Relations of the Russian Orthodox Church'' (DECR); nor were they included in the ''OCA'' Listing for June 10th. However, they were included in the Russian Wikipedia article [http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80_%D0%A1%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%85_%D1%81%D0%B2%D1%8F%D1%82%D1%8B%D1%85 Собор Сибирских святых] (''Synaxis of the Saints of Siberia''), most likely because both of these Saints were canonized after 1984 (when the Feast of the Synaxis of the Saints of Siberia was established). Elder Damat was canonized in 1994, and Basiliscus in 2004.</ref>===
