wherein Liz is puzzled by her sudden popularity among Russians

[edenfalling]

In the past week or so, I have been friended by three Cyrillic-alphabet journals that were then struck through within hours of friending me. I assume the deleted journals were spammers or hackers or something. (I checked the first two before they vanished; they were exactly the same journal, just with different vaguely Slavic-sounding usernames.)

Is this happening to anyone else?

(I was also friended by one English-language advertising/search/spam journal, which seems to still be undeleted. I am not sure if it's part of the same pattern.)
