Jason,
Not only women from Russia want to be sure their future husbands from other countries have enough money to have a decent life but American government wants such thing as well.
An American citizen who wants to marry a woman from another country has to meet a certain financial USCIS requirement. It means you must have a stable income enough to support yourself and your future foreign wife.
I would advise you to get familiar with this information on USCIS site to make sure you are qualified to file a petition for Fiancee visa - the only legal way of bringing your future wife to the USA to marry you.
