As far as I know, US citizens can apply for a Russian visa only in the United States of America, unless they have a residency permit (or visa for 90 days or more) in a third country. In the latter case, the citizen can apply for the visa either in the United states of America or in the third country for which he/she has a residency permit for 90 days or longer. There are no other options. T.
