A lot of Russians say "To my mind..." when speaking English. This phrase sounds strange to me in English and it seems like a direct translation from something Russian (or maybe it's British and I just don't know it). Does anyone know what it's from? The closest direct translations I could think of are

"С моей точки зрения..." 
"Я имею в виду.." 

but neither seem close enough. Where does this come from??

I've never heard anyone saying something like this so I can only guess they meant "по моему мнению", мнение stems from мыслить and for a Russian with basic English knowledge everything related to thinking is "mind" in English.
