Espionage is not unique to the USA. Most countries have this as a crime.
Espionage against the USA is not a crime in most countries. Russia actually hires people willing to do that, so obviously it's not a crime in Russia. And espionage against other countries is not a crime in the USA.
You'd just have to be careful not to do things that are a crime in both countries. Like killing someone to get at secret documents would be murder. Removing secret documents from a drawer might be burglary, but you usually don't get extradited for burglary.
