Yes, a marriage performed in South America will be honored in the U.S., with the exception of gay marriage- which is not recognized in the U.S.

If you mean a marriage in the U.S. between a citizen and an illegal, this marriage will also be recognized, but again, not for gay marriage. Be aware than simply marrying a citizen doesnt grant you legal residency

Do I have to marry a US citizen in America or in my country to receive my greencard?

That should not necessarily have a bearing on your greencard status. When an individual is getting their green card based on marriage, the important part is having a valid American marriage to an American and that can happen in another country if that is where you want your wedding to take place. When a U.S. citizen marries a non-U.S. citizen, the couple will have to participate in a marriage interview so the non-U.S. citizen can obtain permanent residency. The marriage interview is used to assist the immigration authorities in determining the legitimacy of the marriage.

What is the step by step process for a Russian citizen to marry an American citizen in America and to become an American citizen?

yes you can, a person is aloud and has the right to marrry whomever they want whether based on religion,age(if over 18),or even gender(depending on location) Of Course, a Russian can marry an American citizen!! All that you need to take note is that of the law of both the countries. If the marriage is to happen in the US, then the American citizen needs to sponsor the fiancee to the US on a F-1 visa. Once the visa gets approved and the fiancee is in the US, next step is getting married within 90 days of entering. Once the marriage is legalized, the American citizen can then sponsor a green card for the fiancee.
