One thing I just did was changed how people can register. In essence, I stopped allowing just everyone to register, which has not only stopped the Russian names from automatically registering, but seems to have stopped the Russian spam for the moment. Not sure it's a permanent fix or not, but it's a start. I'll have to see if there's a Wordpress plugin to stop it. Odd, isn’t it Rich? One thing I just did was changed how people can register.

Probably not. So why should a language that you do not speak be any different? I too am getting deluged with Russian spam of late - over 50% of the spam that gets through for manual moderation is Russian - many hundreds per day.
