So interesting... Vlad III Dracul or Vlad the impaler or Vlad Dracula...
The name Vlad originates from Slavic languages - it means to rule and Dracula - Dragon (originates from Romanian language). And the name Vlad is somehow shortened form of Vladimir. Mir means in Slavic languages peace (one might recall Russian space station Mir). So we have "rule peace dragon"... Vlad Dracula... and people like stories about him... He is a picture of the Antichrist... (one of many).
Today people have the word peace on their lips (not in hearts) - in hearts they have dinosaurs, dragons, the Devil, the evil... It is so obvious...
