My site is USA yet I have more than two times as many Russian visits. There appears to be a lot of new search engines in Russia. From Twitter Tweet your URL and you'll see 100's of visits 50% or more will be from Russia. That has been my experience.

I suppose I have many visits because (and after) I created a short link via . The domain is Lybia, but maybe the company is Russian. Even now if I hit F5 (refresh) -I see a few more visits.

Re: Problem with too many visits
You ( nikolaos p.[/url] and [url=]lieuwe) are mistaken. My site is NOT in russian language. I am from BG and everything here is in our Bulgarian language - official language in Bulgaria and European Union.
We never been in USSR. The alphabet looks similar to Russian. The language is different (similar of course - like English and German) and russians can't understand us. I cant figure out where it comes so many visitors?
I am sorry for this, but I did not notice that it is in Bulgarian! Of course I know the difference between Bulgarian and Russian language. I just visited your site to look what is going on, having in mind what you said about RU, UA, BL and when I looked the Kyrillic letters I considered immediatelly that it is Russian and I left! 
About your problem, I think that the search engines maybe is the reason. I agree with others that if you have an english version, you will have more English speaking visitors! Btw, do you have enough Bulgarian visitors?

Yes, I expected such visits from BG for that period (of the year)/season- business and personal. I expect (more that 5) from abroad also - from Germany, UK, Greece, USA.... Expect less than 5 from every other country - for a month. I didn't expect thousands-I suppose that someone chech all links uncluded in "bit.ly" and look inside if find a word which is same in both language (for example мехaника=mechaniсs).
Or the counter counts visit for the whole site instead of my personal (for few days).

Re: Problem with too many visits
Flag counter is ONLY able to count visits of sites where the counter is present.Simply spoken, no counter image no registration of the visit.
Search engines could be an option too. We had is discussion on that recently and it seemed the only way was to have a proper robots.txt configuration. If I remember it correctly, that worked at least for a while.
You should try other analytic tools (e.g piwik or google analytics) to see who visits your site from Russia and Ukraine.
