Looks like something tried to get you. Russian IP address.
Just because MBAM informs you that a Malicious Website is blocked, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the website you were on is malicious; rather the advertisements inserted into the webpage might have been.
Since the network traffic is blocked, the malicious IP address is unable to connect to your computer - In most cases nothing needs be done, the protection has blocked the threat from infecting you.
There is also the possibility that it is actually a false positive ..... if MBAM uses an automatic gatherer of "suspicious sites" ( word-based).
Either way, if it's been blocked then it means the software is working for you.

I did look it up also & as you say, russian. This has happened about six times. I do use YouTube quite a lot...If i'm not mistaken YouTube is owned by Google?...I do get many advertisements when watching a movie on youtube but they are american advertisements.
Yes You Tube is now owned by Google.
Don't forget that advertisements are not always what they seem.
Also the ones that do get blocked are obviously not american.
There are always rogue adverts posted on sites or hacked... just to feed you malware.
What you really mean is ..... 'they appear to be american advertisements'.
