I'm meeting my fiancee from Russia this September and would like to meet her in the terminal. Is this possible?

One other option is to simply buy a ticket departing that day from that airport, meet up in the terminal, and then cancel the ticket. Depending on airline policies, this could be free. Or you might forfeit the value of the ticket. Read the fine print.
It looks like Austin has multiple terminals without an airside connection — in general, I haven’t found that airport staff care too much about whether the ticket is for the correct terminal. But it is something you might want to keep in mind.
As zach-lipton says above, this is probably infeasible if they haven’t already cleared customs and been admitted into the U.S.
You can ask the airline of her arriving flight if they will give you a gate pass. These are normally given when people must assist family members or friends to get to their gate. It is possible you could get one for this situation. It would allow you to clear security and go to the gate, but of course, not to board any plane. Ask the airline personnel for the appropriate airline at the arriving airport if this is possible. Note that if she will be clearing customs and immigration at this airport, you wouldn’t be allowed to meet her at the gate and she will have to clear customs and immigration first. Once she’s done this there would be no need for a gate pass.
