Russians with money can. A lot of Russian celebrities and oligarchs have condos in Miami where they spend their winters.
If you can convince immigration that you have a reason to return to Russia, you can get a visa. There's a large Russian community in Miami. Big enough that Russian pop stars will put shows in Miami on their tour itinerary.
I spent a month in Russia for the World Cup. Wealthy Russians can get visas. Maybe middle class Muscovites due to the high salaries can too. Some visa scamming there I heard. Fake jobs, etc. Some Russians get short work visas for the oil industry, etc. But the regular folks I talked to had no chance right now at a tourist visa. Zero.
