My guess is they are going to do gate checks for every flight to Russia but it will probably have to be random? Can't imagine re screening every person...
In the ATL E concourse there's a walled off gate with a security screening checkpoint (metal detectors and xrays IIRC). It's used for flights to Israel from what I understand. If that's a standard restriction on Israel-bound flights, I'm sure they can use the same gates for Russia-bound flights.
