Which Russia? The area of today's Russian Federation contained something over 90 million people. But the question more likely relates to the then Russian Empire that fought the war until 1917. Its population was just over 170m, not counting Finland which was ruled by the Tsar but generally counted separately. The numbers are rather vague because of uncertainties about the official data, which tended to count internal migrants at their new place of residence without removing them from the figure for the area they'd left. But they're near enough.
