npub10nr0vdjcyawfplk90996v2e0n3hyuyrn6t550z8ztedyhmnuytfqy9trx6 (npub10nr…trx6) So, quite a few options, one of the grammar books I know of that has a good reputation is the New Penguin Book (isbn: 9780140120417) which can find in various ways.
Some of the textbooks in this subreddit's wiki are decent (https://www.reddit.com/r/russian/wiki/resources/) too.
I'd suggest trying to read stuff that interests you, regardless of your level, with a translation dictionary around as soon as possible. Even without full comprehension, getting the gist of things and continuing to practice matters more than dull analysis exercises that get you to just procrastinate instead of doing them.
Published works that have seen an editor's touch are to be preferred, at least when starting, as they're less likely to teach broken knowledge you can't build on.
Active listening of music and other media of your choice for spoken Russian would be good to pick up too. There are a lot of cover bands that specifically do translation to Russian, which can be nice (known song meanings & so on). Movies & games with professional dubs can be good too (voice-over (fan)translation is fine I guess, if it doesn't annoy you).
Getting used to noticing the sounds of the language properly when listening just tends to ratchet in & improve over time. You don't /need/ high quality audio gear or whatever, but something that doesn't sound downright muddy on human voice frequencies will help.
(I'm stressing active engagement over academic resources because ultimately it's the most important aspect.)
If you do have money to spend on the matter and don't mind speaking, interactive classes can be useful in the practice opportunity they provide and having a qualified instructor to head off mistakes. This would depend on local (or remote) teaching institutions.
