The U.S. Embassy in Russia publishes a page of advice entitled "5 Steps to a Russian Marriage" http://www.usembassy.ru/consular/wwwhca0.html
The U.S. Consulate General provides this advice for Americans who want to marry in Russia http://www.uscgyekat.ur.ru/v2/us/cons_mar.htm
There is some information on a shortcut to getting a visa for a wife to enter the USA using Direct Consular Filing http://www.kamya.com/intro/dcf.html#RU
It appears to depend on two factors. 1. you marry her in Russia. 2. you are a resident of Russia at the time you apply for the visa.
Considering how much more you can buy with an American dollar in Russia, a lot more men should take a serious look at this option, especially if you have rental property or a business that can keep on generating U.S. income while you are in Russia.
