My film appreciation class introduced the concept of soviet montage, but I can’t wrap my head around it even with all the online resources I found. What exactly is it? How does it work? Can I have an example of it?

Montage theory asserts that a series of connected images allows for complex ideas to be extracted from a sequence and, when strung together, constitute the entirety of a film’s ideological and intellectual power. In other words, the editing of shots rather than the content of the shot alone constitutes the force of a film.
How the shots are strung together is just as important as the subject of each shot.
