How do you use word stress in Russian language?

Question by Kevin: How do you use word stress in Russian?
I’m a native English speaker, and I’m having a bit of trouble grasping stress in Russian. I’m not even completely sure I understand word stress in English.

For instance, how do you pronounce a stressed syllable of a word in Russian differently than when it is not stressed?
