'Fraid this is one place the "original" ain't much help. The Russian name
of Tarkovsky's film is actually *Stalker*, lifted directly from the
English. (Try saying it with a Russian accent, and don't forget to
enunciate the *l*.) I haven't read *Piknik na obochine*, but it seems to be
set in England, which may explain the borrowing. In the film, the Stalker
is more of a guide than a follower, leading adventurers through the "Zone"
described by lay'tel SIvten in search of a room where wishes are granted.
He claims to seek nothing for himself other than his fee. I rather like
{ghochwI'} myself.
