I launched my website 6 months ago. It is a completely English website, I target English speaking audience from English speaking countries.
The website is located on the com domain and hosted on the US server.

According to my Google Console every day I have 150 clicks on my website in SERP per day. 100 of those clicks are navigational queries (When the searcher is typing the name of my website in one way or another). So i have very little traffic from google. Mostly i have traffic from one keyword for which i bought web2.0 links here on BHW. I have very few traffic on long-tail keywords (most of them have 1 click and one impression).

But I have much more traffic from Yandex (Russian Search System). Approximately 300-350 per day. Almost none of them are navigational queries, so people are finding my website in Yandex by typing different long-tail keywords. All these guys are from Russia. I know that Yandex is much smaller than Google, it has fewer customers. But why does Yandex favor my website so much but google doesn't? I don't have Russian content, i don't have backlinks from Russian websites.
 
wait are you receiving traffic from Yandex ?
 
Yes, i have much more traffic from Yandex then from google, even though my website is in English.
 
Update.

Bought some quality backlinks. The situation is still the same - Yandex gives me more traffic than Google.
 
Are you sure that all the traffic is not coming from a bot?
I am expecting almost every visitor through Yandex Web Visor which allows to see the video of the user using the website. This traffic is natural, they browse through the website, watch videos, photos, scroll the pages naturally. No reason to think these are the bots. + conversion from this traffic is really high.

And I haven't heard about the bots who use the search engines to enter the website. What would they? Who does it? I am really curious about it now.
 
What you have there is bot traffic. Check your server logs.

Yandex loves you bro ;);)
 
Are these people visiting your website from Russia or from USA, Canada etc? There's a lot of Russian people who live abroad but still use Yandex

They are from Russia.

There are much less russians in the world than English speaking people
This issue is related to the fact that my website ranks in google only in US, but nowhere else.
