Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Russia entered the first world war with the largest army in the world, standing at 1, 400, 000 soldiers; when fully mobilized the Russian army expanded to over 5, 000, 000 soldiers (though at the outset of war Russia could not arm all its soldiers, having a supply of 4.6 million rifles).
Detailed explanation-2: -The First World War badly hit the Russian industries. Russia’s own industries were few in number and the country was cut off from other suppliers of industrial goods by German control of the Baltic sea. Industrial equipment disintegrated more rapidly in Russia than elsewhere in Europe.
