Unfortunately in the current situation most likely your friend will be denied the tourist visa because she is not a tourist. I'm reading a lot about the current situation with the US visas for Russians and from what I gathered now the embassies are looking very attentively to the travels during last 5 years and especially during last two years. They don't look much at the documents confirming income but looking at the visited countries, how far away and expensive they are. If your friend is going to mention she is coming to you this is going to be another reason for visa to be refused since the embassy will think she is going to stay illegally. In other words to get the US visa for a Russian is very difficult now unfortunately, the rate of refusal for Russia is 40%. To learn more about the situation she can read the site called форум Винского or there's an excellent Telegram chat called Виза в США (gofortravel.ru) where she can read about other people's experience or ask very experienced people about her case.
