A wily seducer, a deformed old man, a warrior of Christ, a being sleeping in a coffin. All this is Dracula. It seems he has always accompanied humanity—in nightmares and romantic fantasies. The image of the vampire was formed in folklore, was revived during the Romantic era, and later became an integral part of pop culture.

Mikhail Odessky (Russian State University for the Humanities) and Tatyana Mikhailova (Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences) conducted a colossal study and reconstructed the genealogy of one of the most enigmatic characters: from the ancient Russian "Tale of Voivode Dracula" to Bram Stoker's cult novel and its "heirs." What did the first vampires look like? What does Dracula have to do with the Bolsheviks, blood transfusions, and Russian symbolism? Why does Dracula appear so often on screen? "The Life and Death of Count Dracula." "The True Biography of a Cultural Hero" will answer all these questions.
