On the other hand, according to Wikimedia stats, the English Wikiversity

So, I wonder what´s the reason for this discrepancy. Does anybody have
an idea?
Best,
Alexa statstics can be easily manipulated to a degree. The discrepancy could be as simple as having one or two users from Russia who have the Alexa toolbar installed from Russia who visit regularly every day, whereas the americans who visit don't have Alexa installed. (Because the population that tends to have the Alexa toolbar installed tends to be relatively self selecting in terms of certain industries.)
