The meager traffic on this site has doubled in the last week, with nearly all of the increase coming from Russia. This strikes me as either a strange internet fluke, some virus hitting my page for no reason, or an error in the Blogger stats. Russia has never been remotely on my radar screen, or on my blog so I can only say I’m confused, if pleasantly surprised.
I noticed one source of traffic was this site which includes a search for my blog. But none of this new traffic appears to show up on any of the posts, so I can’t tell what I might be writing that could be interested in Russia.
I haven’t done much to promote this blog, so I’m guessing it’s unlikely I’ve developed a fan club of Eastern European readers. I think Russia’s fascinating but can’t say I’ve really followed it much, apart from a fascinating book about the Litvinenko poisoning. I also found it a bit strange that among my Google followers is a person named “UA1p.0EnvoObo_M28C.SPoFwArQ-“
I couldn’t figure out for the life of me who this might be. I have seen that comments on some blogs were clearly coming from viruses or bots. I honestly don’t get it. I’d love to think more people are reading, but I’m guessing it’s a glitch somewhere.
