English translation:born died
Explanation:
Are you absolutely sure it's Russian and it's one word? My first guess is that it's Ukrainian "народився" "помер" - then it would make sense. Don't have second guesses yet :-) How old is the gravestone and where is it located? (if you have this info)

stillborn


Explanation:
If is does indeed mean "born died", I think it should be "stillborn".

disagree  eurolarik: My fault. Should have put in a comma. I didn't mean "born dead', I meant "born...., died....", but since the original uses no punctuation marks, I figured I'd do the same.

agree  MariyaN (X): That's what I thought, too - may well turn out to be Ukrainian, not Russian.
