What can you tell me about Russian Vampires?

Question

Or vampires in general. Thanks!

Answer 1

You have to understand that no matter where they come from are all vampires are created in the same way... And no vampire is any different from that is in New York or in Spain or in France.... They all are killers.................. The same thing also hold true for werewolves............ And Lord Bearclaw does not have the sligest Idea of what a real vampire... And yes I read the book where you answer came from and the writter of that book also has no idea what a real vampire is.... And the next time you decide to copy someone works please make sure that they know what they are talking about.... For there has never been one vampire that has created another vampire... It just can't be done... I strongly urge to to find out and accept how vampires are created...... And you can bet your bottom dollar that it was done by another vampire............. Now if you really want to know what a vampire really is drop me some e-mail and I will tell you... If you wondering why I am so d**n angry... Its because I have seen  what a vampire does to a human body... I have witness what hunter group have to through while they put their lives on the line just to rid this world of just one vampire....... And after witnessing  what I have... I say no more bull-c**p.. The people need to know the truth.......... And please remember that vampires are not human so what you are stating does not hold true..........

Answer 5

A brief discussion of the human digestive system and then the probable vampire population given an exponential growth rate should explain why vampires are not possible. Vampires do not exist. Period. I am a Nurse, and the human body is not designed to process large amounts of blood for nutrition. There simply is not enough protein, carbohydrates, and fats present in blood to maintain a complex creature such as Homo Sapiens or any theorized offshoot mutations. When a human ingests food it is first broken up by chewing, then churned up in the stomach with digestive juices to form a bolus called chyme. It then passes into the small intestine where it mixes with bile salts which continue breaking it down on a molecular basis, mostly affecting fats at this point. The broken down nutrients pass through the wall of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they are carried to each cell or stored for later use. Indigestible bulk continues through the intestines, turning a dark brown from the bile. Water is absorbed from this mass in the large intestine depending on the needs of the body - a well-hydrated person will usually have a softer stool than a dehydrated person will. Water also enters the bloodstream, and this is what helps to maintain blood pressure. The pressure tends to balance itself in a healthy person because the bloodstream goes through a formation in the kidney called the Loop of Henle, where the narrowing blood vessel forces excess water and cellular waste such as urea out through the cellular wall into the kidneys, where it is excreted through the ureters into the bladder, and then out of the body via the urethral passageway.

A person physically unable to process his own food for nutrition therefore also could not process blood - it's the same process. Ingested blood does not transmit directly to the veins anyway - it would be chemically broken down by the digestive system.

Theoretical ingestion of blood to supply these nutrients would therefore have to occur at least once a day, and would require the ingestion of the entire blood supply! which could not happen as the stomach is far too small to hold that much liquid volume. Furthermore, such a mass would be difficult to pass thru the intestines as it has no fibrous bulk, would most likely create an intestinal impaction, would in all likelihood cause massive vomiting from the large concentration of iron present, and any "real" vampire would have to eventually expel the waste, which would come out as a black, tarry, smelly goo.

These humans that affect the whole "vampiric lifestyle" are NOT vampires. They are simply humans playing their own little game, in their own little fantasy world. I too, play my own little game, in the SCA, but mine is a game where the deeds that I do are determined by the strength of my arm and sword - I am a warrior, with just as much skill and ability as any warrior of ancient times. The difference is that I am claiming to be something physically possible: a warrior, and I prove it everytime I strap on my armor and walk onto a SCA battlefield. The so-called "vampires" are claiming to be something physically impossible: a walking corpse, and all they prove is that black Victorian clothing, a pair of false fangs, and a little makeup make for a good Halloween costume - it does not make you a vampire.

Also, consider this: if a vampire has to (per my earlier example) feed at least once a day, and if this results in a new vampire every time (per the original legends) then the original vampire creates 365 offspring in just 1 year. The first one he creates then sires 364 more that year, and the second sires 363, and so on and so forth, do the math - almost a million vampires in the first year alone! Reproducing at an exponential rate, even with today's global population, they would totally convert every human on the planet in less than five year's time! (In 1 week's time alone that would be 35 vampires, and by the end of the 2nd week there would be 7 more for each of the 35, for a total of 245 plus another 34 for the new ones, or a grand total at the end of 14 days of 279 vampires!) This falls therefore, under the logic of Occam's Razor - which states that when you have removed every impossible answer, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Since there is no "vampiric plague" swarming the earth, the logical deduction is that they don't exist.

"Russian" vampires differ somewhat from their Western counterparts in that they originally only drank the blood of those they loved in life, and went back into the grave forever after ensuring that their family joined them in the hereafter. The Russians also came up with the popular idea that a vampire could not rise until after dark.

Kilroy, I am not copying from a book, I do not plagiarize. That's a pretty serious allegation, and you'd either better be ready to back it up or retract it. Otherwise, it's called libel, or slander in written form. I present solid, reliable, scientific facts that can be backed up by opening any medical/surgical book and reading the chapter on "Digestion". I repeat, there is no scientific evidence for vampires - dead flesh decays - it does not reanimate. And I would like you to explain this statement of yours: "For there has never been one vampire that has created another vampire... It just can't be done... I strongly urge to to find out and accept how vampires are created...... And you can bet your bottom dollar that it was done by another vampire" Is it just me, or did you just contradict yourself?

Answer 6

I presume since you asked the question in the category mythology and folklore, you already knew vampires aren't "real."

I would like a little more specificity -- what exactly do you want to know about vampires?  

This is a nice little link:  http://vampires.monstrous.com/russian_va...

I gather there is also a tradition in Russia which thinks of vampires as people who, when alive, were witches or heretics.   There is a set of popular Russian novels, known as the Watch novels, by Sergei Lukyanenko, which involves vampires.
