I would strongly recommend anyone who is serious about Russian to install the Russian Keyboard in Windows.
Add a keyboard layout - Windows Help
Then you set up a shortcut so you easily switch between English and Russian input.

You will have to either learn where the keys are located, or buy stickers for your existing keyboard.

Memorizing the location is definitely the best solution. If you can touch type in one language there is no reason why you can't do it in another. If you can't touch type, consider learning it.
