Usage notes
- It's a traditional translation, although not very accurate in meaning and connotations and it's seldom used in the sense of "stalker".
- The term was popularised by 1979 Andrey Tarkovsky's ((Андре́й Тарковсќий) movie with the same name - Stalker (Russian: Сталкер).
- The English term "stalker" (a person who secretly follows someone, sometimes with unlawful intentions) is usually described as упо́рный пресле́дователь (upórnyj preslédovatelʹ, “persistent follower”) or челове́к, кото́рый идёт по пята́м (čelovék, kotóryj idjót po pjatám, “person who comes on the heels”)
