Then (if on Windows, see image), add a keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl-4 for native, Ctrl-7 for Russian) to switch between keyboard layouts. You can access these settings by, for example, right-clicking on the keyboard layout icon in the taskbar and then picking “Settings” (or whatever it is called in your language). Optionally, use a keyboard layout editor (such as MSKLC.exe, Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, for Windows) to adapt the keyboard to your needs and habits. I wouldn’t use it to shift letters around (standard Russsian layout works fine for those), but I did use it to remap quotes and slashes and plus and minus and so on. If you’re not a touch-typist on your native keyboard, that is the first thing to do, before attempting to type on a different keyboard layout. It’s not so hard to become a touch typist and it’ll benefit you all your life.

Po is (or in this case, was) a preposition used here in its original meaning of “after/following” (its primary meaning in modern Russian is “over/across a surface or medium”).

I used the following low tech method for my desktop computer which has a white keyboard. Install your favorite Cyrillic keyboard layout in the settings and then write the corresponding Russian bittrex review letter on the front side of each key (not the top one!) with pencil. The pencil marks will gradually disappear because of accidental touches but it is usually OK as you will learn how to type Russian without looking at the keyboard by that time. An extra benefit of this method that you will learn to type in Russian using any querty keyboard and don’t need to install any programs or open a browser. Once you’ve become a touch-typist (i.e. you can type quickly, correctly, and without looking at the keyboard), you start training on the secondary keyboard layout. It can be done, your fingers will remember the location of each letter even though your eyes might not know where that letter is hiding.
