People keep approaching me. I don’t know why

It's really at this point I'm learning Russian because you just get like approached left and right here, people trying to speak Russian to me. I don't know how many times it happened on the street today. One, a man came up to me when I left my hotel speaking to me in Russian. He physically touched my body and I told him, don't touch me. And not like in a gross way, like he just, I don't know, tapping me or something. I'm not interested to talk to you, dude. And then the second time, I don't know, someone else speaking to me in Russian on the street. And then now just, I don't know, trying to hand me things in Russian or something. I just say, "No Russkiy, no Russkiy." At this point, I've learned the words "karashok," which means good, but I don't know what's going on. I'm not Russian.
