Because I've been receiving these for months now. The pattern is always the same: some random invites me to a group that I have nothing to do with, have no friends in, don't understand a word of what they're about, and it's always in Russian. This was the latest one. It's been ages since I last played a multiplayer game on a public server, so that can't be where they're coming from. Right now I'm more curious than annoyed, although that could change if it gets worse. Anyone else receiving mystery invites to Russian groups?

Update: Looks like these are scripted mass invites.

Invites to obscure Russian groups are the part of Communists' plan to restore Soviet Union and take over the world.

It's like email spam... But if you report the group and the inviting person, they are likely to get suspended.

I do get them occasionally. I don't even know how they spot my account... But hey, it's always nice to get some invites, even if they are considered spam. Whenever you're feeling lonely, you can think about those random invites and pretend random people like you. :D

Nah, I don't have to resort to things like that to not feel alone. I have subscribed to many discussions in many different Steam groups, so I have new messages waiting for me almost every time I check my Steam profile. And I get randomly friend invites from people too. So yeah, I'm definitely not forever alone. ^~^

yes and it's started yesterday, just after i've played CODBO on some random russian server, i've got about 5 invites from russian groups in one day (2 of these groups are definitely related to fps/cod).

You get shitload of these if you're part of big public groups or trading groups, the situation changed for a lot better after I left Traders Guild and Outpost's group, now I get invites every one-two weeks, not every other day.
