If Kant's idea in a digestible form does not come to mind, but you still want to understand it, then it is best to turn to the lecture paraphrases of his ideas. Live speech is much less formalized in its form, which means it is easier to understand. Having a basic understanding of the conceptual outlines of the theory that the philosopher is trying to build, it will be easier for you to then speculate on it in detail and initially unnoticed nuances.
You can start with a fun one. Here, for example, are a couple of videos from the Wisecrack portal, which explains several important points of Kant's philosophy in an extremely simple and concise form. One of them even has Russian subtitles.

As entertainment, you can also try the Action Philosophers comic, the eighth issue of which is just dedicated to German idealism. It is funny and understandable, despite the fact that it does not particularly sin against the truth with its content. Also, by the way, translated into Russian.

I think you can easily find lectures on the Web, there are a decent number of them in both Russian and English. For my part, I can only call out the name of Pyotr Vladislavovich Rezvykh to you, as an example of an excellent lecturer on the topic. In addition to the presented audio recordings (vk.com), something can be found at (youtube.com).
Do not hesitate to attend lectures at universities as well. It's not really that hard to agree on getting into the audience at the right time.
There is also a huge literature on Kant's philosophy, including many generalizing works. The main problem here is that they are often written in no less complex language than the texts of the philosopher they speak about. From the most accessible and complete reviews of the work of the Konigsberg thinker, I can recommend two books::
— Roger Scruton. Kant: A Very Short Introduction (2001) If possible, read in English for better understanding. The book, fortunately, is quite small — only 160 pages.
– Valentin Asmus. Immanuel Kant (1973) It is possible that the moral age of this book has already exceeded its reasonable limit, but you can hardly find a simpler and clearer presentation of Kant's ideas in Russian anywhere else.
The main thing is not to forget to return to the original texts after all this. Any lecture or book is always an interpretation of ideas, their substitute. In the end, your understanding will necessarily differ from what you have heard or read. After all, only Kant can tell you what Kant thinks best.
How can you understand a man, even a great philosopher, who has never known a single woman in his entire life? A person who was so punctual that you could check your watch by him? If you're just as stubborn, I suggest you read it once, then again and again, and you'll start to understand it. But this requires at least a small base of philosophical knowledge, for example, textbooks for universities.
