Russian term or phrase: До могилы Марина
Nobody by this name has been mentioned in the story so far and I'm hoping this is a local monument or attraction of some kind?

Location is Bessarabia in 1940, near Tsepilovo.

Едем размашистой рысью...До могилы Марина все шло хорошо. От могилы – крутой спуск.
