One reason why Russia was unprepared for war was the internal espionage. Although Russia had a huge advantage over other foreign powers due to its extensive network of spies, much of its information was never analysed, as Stalin refused to trust his intelligence service. Another reason for this was because during much of the 1930's, Russia's intelligence resources were focused on the hunt for Trotsky, which left little ability to monitor foreign enemies.
Military preparation also lacked efficiency in preparing for war. Between 1937 and 1938, the Red Army had been purged extensively, trying to ensure that all of its members were loyal to Stalin's regime. For example, from Feb 1937 to Nov 1938, Stalin authorised the execution of almost 39,000 army officers and 3,000 naval officers. This meant that the Russian army was significantly low on numbers and level of experience and skill.
Besides the lack of military preparation, economic preparation was also ineffective. Stalin's purges led to chaos in major government departments, additionally, the third five year plan was never completed or even published. There was no agreement to the budget of military spending, and seventeen different government departments argued with Gosplan over the amount of money to be allocated to war production.
Imperial, Christian (Eastern Orthodox) and broke
Russia was not imperialized causing them to fall behind other countries such as germany and Austria hungary. this is what caused russia to fall out of the war later in WW1.
Russia had problems fighting on the eastern front during WW1, because Russia was poorly equipped to fight a modern war. Russians suffered one of the worst defeats of the war, causing them to retreat.

Lenin
they were hungry
When the Russian Czar stepped down the new provisional government decided to continue Russia's part in WW1 by continuing to fight the Germans. Lenin and his small but powerful Communist Party promised to withdraw from the war as it was causing much destruction to Russia. Lenin had been living in exile from Russia and the Germans promised to get Lenin back into his country if he would end Russia's presence in WW1. The Germans were successful in sneaking Lenin back to Russia and this allowed the Germans to concentrate on the Western Front in France.
no they helped win it
Russia
Nope.
