Help figuring out why my game is getting views from a certain site

Hi everyone!

About a year and a half ago I made game called Hibernation: https://gilel.itch.io/hibernation

I get a view or two here or there, but randomly I noticed I've been getting a couple views every single day for like the past week: 

I checked on the analytics and it says the url is: https://yandex.ru/ which I think is a Russian search engine or something. It has videos and links and stuff, so I tried looking on the website but I couldn't find my game or anything.

Anyone with experience with this stuff, do you have any advice on how to see where its specifically posted? I don't want it removed or anything, I think its cool and all! I was just curious and wanted to see if it was a video of someone playing it, or like just a link to it!

Yandex is  a search engine like Bing, Google and Duckduckgo. They also offer (or used to offer) other services like music streaming to the Russian-speaking market. You would find your game only by typing in a specific search term - possibly in Russian. 

Some of my games are translated into Russian, so I get some traffic from Yandex. But it's random - much like all search engine traffic when you're mostly unknown.

ahh yeah that makes sense, thank you for the help!!
