During the 15th to 16th centuries, Vampires are very well known in many places of both Europe and Eurasia !

In Slavic folk beliefs, this corpse will comes out of the grave to harm people and to suck living people's blood.
To Destroy a Eastern Slavic vampire includes driving a wooden stake through the exhumed corpse's heart or other critical parts of the body, decapitation as well as Cremation. In certain districts, this corpse of a suspected to be a vampire was simply being dumped into a lake or river.
In the northern and central parts of Russia and some other parts of the general region, eretich (literally meaning "heretic") came to be a special term for a vampire, applied to anyone who became an undead vampire as the result of dying outside the Christian Orthodox Faith.
But it applied the most, especially to evil sorcerers and witches who returned from graves after dying and who had sold their souls to the devil while they were still alive. In an account from one district in central European Russia, the eretiches were women who had sold their souls to the devil. After their death, they passed as living women and specialized in turning living Orthodox Christians against their faith. At night they slept in graveyards, occupying the graves of those who died unfaithful.
Sorcery and vampirism also combined in the belief that even a good person could become an Upir after he died by the intervention of an evil sorcerer who magically took possession of his soul.

To rid themselves of the Upierczi , they had to drown it in a lake or river (salt water was not indicated). If it were transfixed with a nail, it could be hit no more than once or it would revive. It isd most advisable to destroy them by the means of burning. When burned, the body will burst, giving rise to hundreds of small, disgusting animals (maggots, rats, etc.).
