Russian term

зачтется

Russian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
In this passage Z- is headed to the hospital with the relatives of the man he is being taken to visit. Z is a literary critic from Moscow and he is now travelling through the countryside to see a man he has never met before (they have been corresponding by letter). It is New Year's Eve. It will turn out that the man died in a duel recently and they are in fact going to a graveyard.

З- приободрился, и собственный поступок начал казаться ему уже не бестолковым, но красивым... Пренебречь новогодними удовольствиями и отправиться к черту на рога, чтобы развеять чью-то больничную тоску, - это крсиво, это ***зачтется*** там; он обернулся, чтобы не себе одному, но и этим незнакомым людям сказать что-нибудь бодрое, убедительное, но не решился.

спасибо заранее!

There are numerous ways to express the same concept.
As for "там", it may mean the "God's register" or a certain social circle important for the character, or both.

it will go to his credit "up there"

It's a good moral deed. Z thinks he'll be a better man for it.

not for grading

I am very ignorant in this field, but I think that the person thinks about the moment "страшный суд", or the expression literally is about it. When all sins and good deeds of every person will be judged, this one will be a good one and it will be treated to his benefit.

sorry for bad english :0(
