Are russian tortoises good pets for beginners?

Hemmm, I want to try keeping a tortoise, and I'm currently very interested in the Russian tortoise. But would a Russian tortoise be a good pet for a beginner like me?

The Russian Tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii) is not crossbred, but a native Russian tortoise. This tiny turtle has an oval and flat shell with various colors. However, the Russian Tortoise is threatened with extinction due to human activities that destroy its habitat.
