I've got no idea if the amount of spam comments I receive are abnormally high, but the bulk of the comments that slip through are Russian spam, covering topics ranging from porn videos to business degrees to torture films.
WordPress 2.7 and newer offer a Comments Blacklist (Settings > General) that allows you to provide a list of words that if found in a comment, will automatically flag it as spam.
The following list of words has been working well for me:
- эротика – erotica
- порно – porn
- фото – images
- школьницы – schoolgirl
- аниме – anime
- экзотика – exotica
- Ьпорно – porno
- порнофильм – pornofilm
- Ьпорнофото – pornofoto
- видео – video
- онлайн – online
- анал – anal
- праститутки – prastitutki (assuming prostitute)
- хентай – Hentai
- пытки – torture
- скачать – download
Formatted for the Comments Blacklist that becomes:
эротика порно фото школьницы аниме экзотика Ьпорно порнофильм Ьпорнофото видео онлайн анал праститутки хентай пытки скачать

No idea if the above comment is legit, but translated it says:
I'm beginning to agree.
