Russian term or phrase: стремление \"к достопамятности\"
Она очень любила писать. Каждую свободную минуту вела записи в дневнике, охотно писала письма — домой в деревню, подругам в Архангельск. Часто сама предлагала: "Давай, я и твоей маме напишу, как мы здесь живем, как воюем. И Сашиной маме тоже". Возможно, это было стремлением "к достопамятности", издавна, по словам Бориса Шергина, свойственной северянам.
