Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Ghost Stories., part 4, sentence 92
But the ghastly blood-sucker, the _Upir_,[418] whose name has become naturalized in so many alien lands under forms resembling our "Vampire," disturbs the peasant-mind in many other parts of Russia, though not perhaps with the same intense fear which it spreads among the inhabitants of the above-named districts, or of some other Slavonic lands.
Who acts: ghastly blood sucker, forms, same intense fear · What happens: become, naturalize, resemble, disturb, spread, name · To what, where: many alien lands, Vampire, peasant mind, many other parts, inhabitants
