The RU increase is relatively minor compared to the 50-60k user increase in the US. I find it very difficult to believe that these increases represent new actual people using Tor for web. The botnet-theory seems far more likely.

Using only Google search to measure the increase would not be enough though. There are other really popular search engines in russian.
