You should register marriage with Indian embassy or consulate under provisions of foreign marriage act
Dear Sir
It is sufficient. But if you want to register your marriage in India too then apply before registrar office along with all your id and address proof and rent agreement if you lived in bangalore since 30 days.
Since you are going to get married in Russia you should get the marriage registered before the Indian Consulate in Russia under the Foreign Marriage Act.
Yes as per foreign marriage act you can register marriage in India on below terms and conditions.
Foreign Marriage Act, 1969
4.Conditions relating to solemnization of foreign countries.-
A marriage between the parties one of whom at least is a citizen of India may be solemnized under this Act by or before a Marriage Officer in a Foreign country, if, at the time of the marriage, the following conditions are fulfilled, namely :---
(a) neither party has a spouse living,
(b) neither party is an idiot or a lunatic,
(c) the bridegroom has completed the age of twenty-one years and be bride the age of eighteen years at the time of the marriage, and
(d) the parties are not within the degree of prohibited of relationship :
Provided that where the personal law or a custom governing at least one of the parties permits of a marriage between them, such marriage may be solemnized, notwithstanding that they are within the degrees of prohibited relationship.
1. If you can obtain Marriage Certificate from Russian authorities and if attested by an official of the Indian Consulate that would suffice.
2. If the above procedure is followed, there will be no need to obtain Marriage Certificate in India.
1. If you wish to register marriage in Russia then you can register your marriage there under Foreign Marriage Registration Act through Indian Consulate.
2. Another option is to register marriage in India only under Special Marriage Act.
It is better you get your marriage registered with Indian consulate. The Russian marriage certificate is good enough.
The marriage will be performed in Russia and it would be a public affair. You can register the marriage if you want to. As long as you remain an indian citizen to laws of India shall apply to you...ie monogamy and other laws. Marriage should be registered if you are marrying asperger's the hindu rites and rituals. Otherwise it is ok.
You can register it with the indian consulate. That would be sufficient.

Ideally it would not be required. But you would require to have copies officially translated marriage certificate.
It's actually more of a trouble to register your marriage at multiple places.
1. You want to marry the Russian in Russia under which Act?
2. If you marry him as per the law of Russia, then all subsequent acts/disputes will be decided as per Russian law.
3. You both can marry in Russia and register the marriage before the Indian Consulate at Russia under Foreign Marriage Act.
Dear Client
The marriages which are registered abroad need to be registered in India under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. For this purpose, you are required to obtain a letter from the embassy of the country in which the marriage has been registered.
