I am getting traffic instances from Russia from fake referrers of Reddit, LifeHacker etc. I am not sure how did they get to my site. Is there anyway to block them from my site as well as from analytics?

This is not a dup. It's about blocking the traffic in Analytics as well as on web server. – Volatil3 Dec 01 '16 at 18:26

This is affecting me at the moment. I solved it by using a Filter in Google Analytics
