In many ways conditions were worse after the Russian Revolutions than before.

Shortages of food and manufactured goods actually increased as production decreased. Peasant farmers were forced to sell their crops to the government under Lenin's "war communism" policy leaving them with barely enough to survive. Peasants soon lost incentive to grow more crops or hoarded what they did grow. Peasants who did this and were found out were exiled, imprisoned or executed.

Industrial output actually fell below the levels they had been at under the Tsar. Lenin recognized this and fearing that the Russian people would revolt against him and the Bolsheviks, instituted the New Economic Policy. It did little to help.

There was absolutely no political freedom since Lenin abolished all political parties other than the Bolshevik, later Communist, Party. Anyone voicing opposition or criticism of the way the Bolsheviks/Communists were running things was branded a counterrevolutionary and also exiled, jailed or executed.

All in all, the plight of the peasants and laborers got worse.

In both instances, the autocratic rule of the Tsar faced opposition from workers, peasants, and intellectuals who demanded reforms and better living conditions.

How strong and experienced was the German army during World War 1 compared to the Russian army?

The Tzar's Russian military in WWI (1914) was still feeling the negative effects from the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Russia was on the verge of revolution in 1905...and that revolution came to light in 1917...right in the middle of WWI. Therefore, the German army of WWI was stronger and better organized. The Russian Army was better experienced due to the Russian-Japanese war...but it was disorganized and demoralized due to it's pending revolution.
