Russia was not an ally of Germany in World War 1.
== == Russia and Germany were never allies during World War I. They were on opposite sides from the beginning.
No, rather the Soviet Union (Russia during WW2 and the Cold War) was against Nazi Germany.
World War 1 Germany invaded Russia in 1917 after Russia backed out of the war. World War 2 Germany invaded Russia during the Second World War on June 22, 1941 Operation Barbarossa
Originally it was Germany, Japan, Russia and Italy. But, as Hitler got more and more aggressive towards Italy and attacked Russia it eventually came down to just Germany and Japan.
Germany's first U-Boat, number U-1, descended from a batch of newly constructed submarines for Russia during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Russia received four or five submarines, and Germany commissioned it's first U-Boat in 1906.

Germany had goaded Russia into fighting Japan during the Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905. Which effectively removed Russia from the naval arms race in Europe. This allowed Germany to win the Dreadnaught race on the mainland without competition. France and Italy had no desires to compete with Britain; France had put her past wars with Britain behind her. Britain on the other hand, prepared to face the German High Seas Fleet, which culminated in WW1.
