You should consider applying with your Mexican passport as Mexican citizens are eligible for a simplified e-visa for stays up to 30 days, which is an online process and doesn't always require an invitation. The standard Russian visa process, especially for US citizens, usually requires a visa support letter (invitation) and an application E-ZPass on the Maine Turnpike submitted to a Russian Consulate or Visa Center in the country where you are currently residing (Mexico).
