I do not have Cyrilic characters on this computer. But I am writing in English how these three Cyrilic words, that are on the back of my Russian Orthodox/Pochaev Cross, would be pronounced in English.

The correct version would be 'spasy i sohrany' - a common phrase used.

I thought Barbara was asking about the pronounciation. Translation is: Save and protect. Thank you, Alexandra!

Save and Protect
As you can see the paragraph on this page:
14 kt. Russian Orthodox 8-Point Cross
AdoptionShop Price: $89.00
1-inch 8-point cross. Each cross has an Orthodox prayer "Save and Protect" on the back. Ideal as a baptismal gift!

Thank you, and as we all know, a cheap one will neither Save nor Protect nearly as well as an expensive one.

: Looks like this is it. But hardly could I make this out from the text given in the request. It does not sound Russian at all. Snimayu shlyapu, devushki. Vidno est' nad chem porabotat' - nesmotrya na 25 let. Tagir - ;-)

SPASI I SOKHRANI
If my guess is correct, the Cyrillic (Russian) must look like this: СПАСИ И СОХРАНИ (meaning SAVE AND GUARD (or KEEP). The pronunciation is: spa-SEA ee sokh-rah-NEE.

Save and Redeem
I think "redeem" is what the (American) English speaker would use in this case. Of course, (almost) all other answers also make sense, including the translations and pronunciation.
