War was declared on them bij the Germans. The Russian Empire itself was not at all keen to start a war with anyone after the still recent failure of its military operations against Japan.
As to the revolution: the country was at the time certainly not 'on the brink' of a revolution. That was only going to happen 3 years later and mainly as a result of developments that were themselves then also only in the future, namely the 1916/1917 breakdown of Russia's wartime economy and its resulting food shortages.

At least once, during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October, 1962, the US and the Soviet Union seemed on the brink of war. The conflict escalated over nuclear missiles the Russians were putting in Castro's Cuba, only 90 miles from US soil.

The war wasn't going to well for the Russians, which was a reflection on the Russian society as a whole. Another words the poverty, corruption, and low morale on the front lines matched their homeland also. But the war was killing husbands, sons, and fathers...consequently the war brought the necessity to bring an end to the suffering at both home and the war...hence the future Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 (12 years later).

The Bolsheviks and Vladimir Lenin wanted to overthrow the government because a lot of Russians were killed in World War I and Russia had social and economic problems.
