What disadvantages did Russia have going into WW1?

Russia's economy was still developing and reliant on foreign investment; her industrial sector was incapable of competing with the powerhouse German economy. Three years of total war would exhaust the Russian economy and leave its people starving, freezing and miserable.

In March 1918, the new Russian government, now under Lenin's leadership, signed a peace treaty with Germany at Brest-Litovsk in what is now Belarus. ... In all, the treaty forced Russia to give up about 30% of its territory. The treaty ended Russian participation in World War I, but it did not bring peace to Russia.
