Website traffic from Russia?

I monitor traffic on one of my sites, and just curious what you think this is.
I've been getting some hits recently from Russia. Now it's perfectly possible that I get visitors from Russia, but as my site is in English and doesn't have any Russian related content, I suspect it's spiders of some sort.
Anyways, recently I've been getting traffic from this IP (109.205.252.97) and it says their viewing on an Apple iPad / 768x1024 in French. A Google search tells me it's not just a person.
Am I in danger of being hacked in some way? Or is this a spider?

Does this keep you awake at night?
keep regular backups of site and even if a hack occurs which is unlikely you will be back up and running in minutes.
Why are you so worried? what is the content on your site?

There are immense amounts of hacking from China, USA and Russia the last few months. I've not seen anything like it. No actual stats just personal experience.

Well if it's just HTML then you have nothing to worry about

I use cloudflare on a high-volume website for a music festival that gets a number of suspected attempted hacks....it's great, but you have to follow their installation info very carefully....

Put zopim on your site and chat them up:
Ask them what's on their mind. I do that randomly with my site and it really freaks people out.
