make sure you have adequate heating at check the temps regularly as the tortoise needs the correct temp to get his body warm ,the warmer he is the more alert and active he/she will be .
i bought a book from the bookshop so i can always read up on things ,my vet also gave me a care sheet when i took her for a check up

Asking that for this species is a guaranteed headache! The Russian is actually a bit tricky, and most keepers have difficulty keeping them alive for more than a few years.
Try the reputable info at these sites:

Don't overfeed on the protein. This can lead to shell deformaties.
