Why is it that every time i search on DDG?

I get Russian listings, mostly spam.

I dig the language(so as +5 others), speak it, read it, but never on PC.

I read and sometimes respond to WhatsUp messages on one of the tablets which connects to same WiFi, that is it.

So on my main workstation using FF and DDG, Freaking Only, as default engine for search I get 30+% listings in Russian language?

DDG is better known for using Bing as it's index, but they do also use Yandex for users in certain countries, or possibly also depending on query and Accept-Language settings. Next time it happens, perhaps compare with Yandex results to confirm.
