I have a Russian girlfriend who wants to come over and stay with me in the uk, does she need a student visa to come over or some other documentation?

I haven't met her in person yet, it's early days, I'm just trying to find out what may be required if things come to fruition.

Has she asked you for money yet? If so, how much?

No and being a yorkshireman she wouldn't be likely to get any, what about the necessary paperwork?

I've PMed for help -- am in the U.S. and am not sure what the requirements would be for the UK.

Dude, be EXTREMELY careful here.
Have fun by all means, but when they start asking for money, RUN FOR THE HILLS.
As for your question, it's simply a case of her getting a visa to visit and go from there.
Best to start slow and see if you are compatible.
