In general, "anyone can apply for a [temporary] visa in Moscow or the other U.S. Consulates in the Russian Federation" even if one is not a Russian citizen. However, one's chances of having the visa approved are lower when one does not apply in one's home country because U.S. Consular officials may not be able to properly evaluate the application for non-Russian citizens, so one's chances of approval may be lower outside of one's home country. The U.S. Embassy states:
While anyone can apply for a visa in Moscow or the other U.S. Consulates in the Russian Federation, it will be more difficult for a consular officer to determine the eligibility of visa applicants who are not residents of the consular district where the interview is conducted. On the other hand, a consular officer should be able to evaluate the visa qualifications of non-Russian citizens who live in Russia just as easily as those of Russian applicants.
