Answer 2

The USSR didn't exist at the start of WWI. However, the war greatly affected all parts of Russian life, so much so that eventually there was a revolution, first by moderates, then hijacked by Lenin and his Bolshevists. That totally overturned all of Russian culture and social life and led eventually to the founding of the USSR

Answer 3

It destroyed the economy, angered the people and turned them towards Socialism that overturned the culture (monarchy, religion, private ownership, professional army, lack of education, agrarian lifestyle, etc)
