What was the radio in the early 1900's?
Yes, but you'll need to define what you mean by "radio".
Radio transmission and reception were used internationally, but radio broadcasting to individual homes was not common, and commercial broadcasting to individual homes did not start until the 1920s.
What year was the Russian Republic established?
Russia is pretty old and it's changed a lot in size and power over the centuries.
Current Russia was founded as the Russian Federation in 1991... but it's been around a bit longer...
Soviet Russia came out of the Revolution over throwing the Tzars in 1917 (offically forming the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics "USSR" in 1922 with various other bits of old Imperial Russia) replacing...
The Russian Empire which was declared in 1721 by Peter the Great - so you could claim that as a founding date - but it had already been a major power just as "Russia" or the "Russian Kingdom" or similar for centuries...
The oldest recognisable "Russia" is probably "Moscovy" or the Grand Duchy of Moscow starting in the early 1300's it gradually absorbed by conquest or diplomacy the other states around it some of whom - Novogord from instance - could easily have won and so become "Russia" themselves.
Moscovy's leader in the late 1400's (note a whole century went by) Ivan III was called the "Tzar of all the Russians" so I guess that could be your founding of Russia late 1400's
It's quite hard to trace the founding dates of a lot of older countries since nationalism and statehood are fairly modern ideas - no neat "Independance Days" or declerations... the countries tend to grow out of the personal lands and dominions of powerful families or tribes.

What was England's everyday life in 1900's?
During the nineteenth century, Great Britain was at the height of its empire. However, living conditions could range anywhere between squalor and luxury, depending on a person's economic status. The Industrial Revolution built a strong middle class that included factory owners as well as people in the professions. They became the nouveau riche, and in many ways, mimicked the lifestyle that had mainly been reserved for aristocrats. The living conditions for the poor, however, were horrible. First of all, children as young as six, were forced to work long hours in factories. The living conditions of the poor were squalid, forcing them to exist in filth and disease. As a result of the poverty, the crime rate grew.

Why couldn't the allies ship war supplies to Russia's ports?
Consider where the ports are in Russia. The Far East is thousands of miles from the main fighting zones, and covered by the Japanese navy. The Black Sea is blocked by Turkey. The Baltic can only be entered by passing within 10 miles of German-occupied Denmark. Such supplies as did get through were taken through the North Atlantic to Murmansk or Archangel, which involved passing German-occupied Norway. The toll on ships and men on this passage was horrible, due as much to the climatic conditions as to the U-boats and bombers. Escorts had to be big ships, both because of the sea conditions and the presence of German battleships; and there were never enough big ships to go round.
What social changes occurred in the US during the 1920s?
Well, many things happened during the 1920s. America had just ended the Progressive Era which was full of political changes such as the secret ballot, prohibition, direct election of senators, and direct primaries. The progressives also instituted an income tax (16th amendment) and gave women the right to vote (19th amendment). Many negative changes also occured such as the Red Scare, a post-war recession which eventually led to the Sotck Market Crah in 1929 and a rebirth of the KKK. There was also two major court cases: The Sacco and Vanzetti Trials which accused two immigrants of communism without evidence, and the Scopes Trial which covered the issue of evolution in schools.
