If you click on the book symbol by any term it will give you the definition.
Birth rate: every year, a random sample of 1000 people (ie 500 women) will between them have about 10 babies.
Fertility rate: every woman will in her lifetime have 1.28 babies.
Of course the "replacement rate" for fertility - the rate for a stable population, ignoring immigration and emigration - is 2: implying that Russia's population is set to drop dramatically in future.

The total fertility rate (TFR, also called fertility rate or total period fertility rate (TPFR)) of a population is the average number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime if she were to experience the current age-specific fertility rates through her lifetime. It is obtained by summing the age-specific rates for a given time-point.
The birth rate is how many are actually born
