vzjat'

[Alina Israeli]

On vzjal i umer etc would be translated into English 'He up and died'.  
The tense of 'vzjat'' is irrelevant, could be 'voz'mu i umru'. There  
could be other forms as well, of course: взяли и пришли, возьмет и  
откажется etc.

Irina Kor Chahine has an article on it http://www.springerlink.com/content/t22540876q93242r/
