Blog stats for the last 2 hours

I don't know anyone living in Russia personally, and usually the most traffic I get is from the USA and Australia, so I must be doing something right ... or wrong to attract such a following from a country which is despised by most other countries on that map above for what their army is doing to Ukraine right now.

Like the radiated Ukrainian Ferris Wheel pictured at the top of this post I'm wondering just what the attraction is for Russian readers to this blog all of a sudden?
