Russian Translation Please?

[HugoBeauchamp]

This inscription (think it's Russian) is at the base of a grave marker.

Inscription is in the attachment, but looks rather like this "МИР ДРАЖУ ТНОЕМУ" , however the 'google' translation seems confusing "WORLD TO YOUR shivering"

Can any one translate please?

Many thanks

МИР  also means "peace" in Russian

Looks like
Мир ПРАХУ ТВОЕМУ to me which Google translates as "peace be unto your.."
If there isn't another word after ТВОЕМУ, then it could mean just " Peace be unto you"

Hello LizzieL

Thank you for your response; I wonder if (a) others agree or maybe (b) the rest of the inscription is written around the sides of the base in which case there may be more?

Thanks again

My Russian dictionary gives the phrase as "May you rest in peace", so there's no more of the inscription to follow. LizzieL has the spelling right. ПРАХ literally means dust/earth/ashes/remains.

Thanks GR2

Literally translated it says 'Peace to thy ashes/remains'.

Thanks Forfarian - an interesting alternative.

МИР ПРАХУ ТВОЕМУ means Rest In Peace. This is one of the standard inscriptions on the Russian graves.
