My guess is that you play on a site with lots of Russians.

Who knows?

When I search, I don't see that. Are you using a VPN by chance? Google may be doing some IP based results.

Are you using the Tor browser? If the last server in the chain is in Russia then Google might think you are in Russia. It shouldn't but it's a possibility.

I have the same but with Swedish, but I think it might have something to do with the people who are googleling your account. Like my ex is Swedish and we played a good bit of chess, so maybe you just pissed off a lot of Russians yk?

On the apps, they use the device language. The website uses the language in your settings.

It may depends on the IP, provider and VPN (if used)
