There is no reason to present the US passport when departing Russia except
at the airline ticket counter. Passport control does not care if you have a
visa or not for your destination. They are only concerned that you have a
right to leave Russia.
When you arrive in the US, they only care that you have a right to enter so
all that is necessary is a US Passport, green card or US visa. You don¹t
need to show a Russian passport.
