Russia had a huge population from which to recruit soldiers. However, it was poorly equipped and poor in general. It didn't help that Russia couln't get supplies through the Black Sea from its allies because of the Ottoman Empire.

Russia had a large population to recruit an war-time army from and the was a lot of space between the border with the Central Powers and the capital, making it quite difficult to get there for an invasion force.

However, Russia;s army was not well-equipped. It was isolated from its allies, making it harder for those allies to send supplies.
