The first step would have been to avoid war with Japan during the Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905. This war cost the Russians two Battleship Fleets (Pacific Fleet and Baltic Fleet) and caused the Battleship Potemkin to mutiny in 1905 (Russian Battleship Potemkin was from the only remaining Russian Fleet stationed in the Black Sea); Japanese intelligence staff also financed some of the Bolshevik covert operations which were undermining the Tsar (whom Japan was at war with); including the financing of Lenin himself. Had the Russo-Japanese War not occurred. Russia would have at least survived past WW1. As history records, Tsarist Russia fell in 1917, one year before the end of WW1, which was 1918.

MaxineNicholas saved his throne in 1905 by granting the people of Russia a Duma. Had he made some changes and not dissolve the Duma several times when he didn't like something it is possible he could have saved his throne. He should have had more backbone with Rasputin and should not have mobliszed for war when his motive was just to not let Russia be humiliated again. Russia was having internal struggles and external struggles and that's what was breaking Russia apart.

Who was heir to the thrown after czar Nicholas II?
Had he not been forced to abdicate, his only son Alexei would have become czar eventually. However, Alexei was a hemophilliac, meaning his blood had a hard time clotting. A single pinprick could cause him to bleed out. Had he died before his father and Nicholas had not had another son, the czar eldest daughter Olga would become the Czarina.
Why was Nicholas II arrested in 1917 during the Russian revolution?
When the February Revolution broke out it was clear that Nicholas II had lost control of the country and could not stop the revolution that was beginning. He was convinced he had to abdicate in order to preserve order. The new Provisional Government took him into custody to assure that he would not be able to take back the throne he had just given up or that no one else could put him back on it. The plan had been to send him in exile to England; but the Bolsheviks staged their coup in the October Revolution and toppled the Provisional Government. The Bolsheviks then took Nicholas into their custody and quickly decided it would not be a good idea to allow the former Tsar to live in exile in another country where he might gain support for restoration. When the Russian Civil War broke out it was clear to the Bolsheviks that some of the forces fighting against them would try to put Nicholas back on the throne, so the Bolsheviks murdered him and his whole family in July 1918.

Did The Russian Revolution in 1917 bring Lenin to power?
In March of 1917, there was a Russian Revolution that took the Czar out of power. The goal of the new government was a democratic one. But they also wanted to continue the war with Germany. Losing it or quiting the war could be dangerous as Germany had every chance to conquer Russia. With that said, Lenin was sent into Russia from exile by the Germans. It was a quid pro quo that if Lenin took power he would take Russia out of WW 1. The Russian people were still starving and losing battles with Germany under the new democratic Provisional government. Lenin and his Bolshevik party promised to quit the war and bring a new beginning for Russia. Thus his October Bolshevik Revolution was a success. The treaty with Germany was, however, a costly one for Russia.
What was the impact of Russia leaving World War 1?
The defeat of Russia enabled Germany to transfer troops to the Western Front, but not in the numbers they had hoped for, as they had unexpectedly serious problems on the Eastern Front with groups as diverse as Bolshevists and Ukrainian nationalists. Russia' defeat also fed fantasies about boundless German expansion in Eastern Europe - fantasies that played a key role in Hitler's thinking.
