The impact of the First World War on Russia was immense. In the early stages of the war the Russian army suffered huge losses at Tannenburg and at the Battle of the Masurian Lakes. These losses resulted in unrest in the army and led to questions being asked about the way in which the military was run. As a result of ongoing military blunders, Tsar Nicholas II decided to take charge of the army himself. Whilst his presence at the frontlines may have acted as a boost to troops in the short term, it created a huge problem in the medium term.

Explanation:
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.
By 1916, railway lines began to break down. Able-bodied men were called up to the war.
As a result, there were labour shortages and small workshops producing essentials were shut down.
Large supplies of grain were sent to feed the army. Thus, bread and flour became scarce for the people in the cities.
