Some of our friend's respondants write in Cyrillic which is a clue as it has me reaching for my translation software and I usually find that the laguage is Russian (although I know it doesn't have to be just because it's in Cyrillic script. :o)
English French and Italian I can manage, but Russian, no........
Webstatsdomain.net has the following about my Blog:

Athgarvan.livejournal.com has 67% seo score.
Oh! Make no mistake, I read this blog very regularly. True to the translator from google. And I write with the same translator. Moreover, in Russia there are many search engines that index the LiveJournal in the first place.
====================== О! Можете не сомневаться, я читаю очень регулярно этот блог. Правда с переводчиком от google. И пишу с тем же переводчиком. Кроме того, в России есть много поисковых машин, которые индексируют Живой Журнал в первую очередь. )))
Keep in mind, however, that accounts that add you as a "friend" are not necessarily people. Sometimes they are created by computer programs that start LJ accounts and trigger the "add as friend" link in order to try to glean as much personal information from you. This data is accumulated from thousands of people en masse in order to provide corroborative source material for criminal activity.
I have found most so-called Russian (or at least cyrillic) ostensible "friends" are in this category.
Yes, often. Posts on a particular topic are generated from random text taken from the 'net. Pictures are often included. Some of these get rather elaborate.
One "friend" of mine (beerlover1 - you can go see for yourself) is presumably an attractive and vivacious young Florida woman who relishes the idea of spending the evening drinking beer, which may be some young gentleman's idea of heaven, and when I find that young gentleman, there's a bridge I'd like to sell him.
To be fair, I have people from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus (to think of who I know who uses Cyrillic) on my flist and they have to be real as my blog is f-locked and I only let folks in by personal invite or due to being the friend of a friend. :o)
Not all Russian bloggers are spambots as Vlad Putin knows to his cost!
I had forgotten English. Although I know it is technically only in the form of commands php (programming language used on the Internet). Previously, he studied English courses. A whole year. But then I was still young. Now prefer to use the translator google. Although it is not perfect. Learn English? But why? As I am not going abroad. I'm in Russia very good life.
=========================== Я уже забыл английский. Хотя знаю его только технически в виде команд пхп (языка программирования, используемого в интернете). Раньше изучал английский на курсах. Целый год. Но тогда я был молодой еще. Нынче предпочитаю пользоваться переводчиком google. Хотя он не совершенен. Учить английский ? А зачем ? В заграницы я не собираюсь. Мне в России очень даже хорошо живется.
Thank you for your comments. I am always amazed at how well many Russians speak English. Others, I'm sure, are trying to learn the language and I thought my posts, being short and varied, might be of some help to them.
I myself love many of the Russian blogs, especially the wonderful photos.

Согласен, что не все русские блоггеры спам-боты. Таких (спам-ботов) в общем-то мало. Только не понял, при чем тут наш Путин ?!
)))))
Perhaps I am too naïve.
