Recently I am getting some referrals traffic which are everyday changing their name (I am blocking them everyday from GA). First few days their name was example.xyz but now they are using various name. All the traffic's are coming from Russia. They are only landing to / and nowhere. How can I identify that it's a spam traffic or not?

Make your code see if the typical resources of the main page were also loaded. Automated robots usually only load a single URL and then nothing for a long time from that particular address.

Just add a hostname filter, this will block 90% of referral spam which won't originate from your own server hostname (yoursite.com).
