Do you have any human verification? Have you put reCaptca or something on? These are typically spam bots. Most of them can be thwarted with a human verification. -
I got Russian spammers on my site too. I think they are human spammers because I have email verification.Comment

As Necrophyte asks, are you using Human Verification also? I'd recommend using the Question and Answer tool plus also enable the likes of StopForumSpam if you haven't alreadyVote for:
- *Admin Settable Paid Subscription Reminder Timeframe*
- *PM - Add ability to reply to originator only*
- Add Admin ability to auto-subscribe users to specific channel(s)
- Highlight the correct navigation tab when you are on a custom page
- "Quick Route" Interface...
- Allow to use custom icons for individual forumsComment

You can also take a look at the emails being used by these spammers. If there is something in common, such as all being from @mail.ru, then you may want to consider going to AdminCP > Settings > Options > User Banning Options, and entering "@mail.ru " into the Banned Email Addresses area.
Please don't PM or VM me for support - I only help out in the threads.
