How to read a declension table
The case tells you the job a word is doing: subject, object, destination, tool, place. Each case row shows the question it answers and the form for singular and plural. The purple mark shows stress, and stress moves: вода (voda) - water becomes воду (vodu) in the accusative. The ending and the stress together are the form.

Questions
What is declension?
Russian nouns change their ending depending on their role in the sentence: subject, object, destination, tool. Each role is a case, there are 6 of them, and with singular and plural that makes 12 forms per noun. Each word's page shows all 12 at once.
Why do some accusative forms copy the genitive?
Animacy. For masculine nouns and all plurals, Russian marks living things in the accusative with the genitive form: я ви́жу дом (ya vizhu dom) - I see a house, but я ви́жу дру́га (ya vizhu druga) - I see a friend. The tables handle this automatically.
Why does the table say о по́ле but everyone says на полу́?
A small group of masculine nouns takes a special locative form after в and на: на полу (na polu) - on the floor, в лесу (v lesu) - in the forest. The regular prepositional still exists for "about" (о по́ле). Words with this extra form show their own Locative row in the table.
Why does the stress move in some words?
