How did world war i affect the russian people and their relationship with their government?

The first world war was a ruthless and cruel fight between nations, the purpose naught. The Russians entered the war with 1.4 Million soldiers, which in comparison to other nations is quite significant. In the end the managed a total of 5 Million. The war cost the lives of almost all of them and that fact is what turned the Russian people away from their government.

It deescalated the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union because the Latter agreed to remove it missiles from Cuba while the United States agreed to remove its missiles from Turkey which really deescalated the arms race between the two super powers.
