Question

Could she file for divorce in Russia and "win" jurisdiction? Would it matter in such a case if she filed here 1st, or 2nd?

Answer

Yes, your wife can submit a divorce suit to the Russian court. If you do it first, your wife’s suit should be left without consideration. Because the court works on the identical case. The case which was submitted first will be considered.
