"This is called referer spam. Nobody is actually viewing your blog from Russia" https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/blogger/7gFxy0BoVlA/wyFxCCYCEAwJ
Over the last week or so I am getting hundreds of non-humans views from Russia
I have learned : It doesn't affect your blog. They are not real visits, it is called referrer spam or it could be the Yandex crawler. Don't click on the links, that is the only reason it exists is to get you to click on the links. The Blogger stat system will eventually recognize it as spam and will remove the links and visits from your stats. Also, it doesn't affect your ranking
Russian Internet Trolls Caught Posing As Trump Fans
The FBI warned the Clinton campaign that it was a target of a cyberattack last March, just weeks before the Democratic National Committee discovered it had been penetrated by hackers it now believes were working for Russian intelligence, two sources who have been briefed on the matter told Yahoo News.
Happening to me as well... Used to maybe 100-200 views per day, then all of a sudden there's over a thousand in one day. I HAVE clicked a Yandex link though, and nothing happened (at least nothing I'm aware of).
