    They don't make any sense (save for the first one which doesn't sound good anyway).

    "И это пройдёт" is what you're looking for, I believe.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    In this sentence, the "и" actually means "too", not "and". This is the common Russian translation of what was written on King Solomon's ring.
