I'm assuming you mean failures during World War I. Russian troops were poorly prepared and had limited supplies or adequate clothing for most of the war on the eastern front. This led to a large number of casualties (3.3 million), battlefield losses that surrendered large amounts of territory to German troops, and it ultimately led to the Russian Revolution in 1917.
The Czars, unable to fight both the Germans and the uprising at home, made a quick peace with Germany at Brest-Litovsk, ceding the Ukraine and more to the German empire. The population turned against the Romanov dynasty and imperial Russia became Soviet Russia by 1924.
