You got it right, it's not IP blocking them from your site. They actually never go to your site, it's all spoofed / ghost / fake traffic. It's purely to have a cleaner and more accurate google analytics.
You do it in the filter part and it's not a big list, you can actually just choose to filter out by country. Just pick Russia and watch as the spam vanishes before your very eyes.
