Day Mne Na Pamyat -

"Day Mne Na Pamyat" (Russian: Дай мне на память ) translates to or "Give it to me for memory."

In historical contexts, particularly during World War II, this phrase was frequently used by Soviet soldiers when confiscating items like watches or jewelry from civilians in liberated or occupied territories. A notable account of this can be found in the testimony of Václav Duda on Memory of Nations , where he describes a soldier asking for the time before taking his father's pocket watch with that exact phrase.
