Did Russia improve after the revolution?
People in Russian and around the world have been trying to answer this question for over 90 years. You would have to read more than book to start forming an opinion on whether things got better or worse for Russia after the revolution. Almost no single aspect of the revolution can be painted simply as "black" or "white". Things may have improved for some and got worse for the others, and how many were worse or better off, and whether Russia would have been better or worse off without the revolution is impossible to guess.
It is safe to say that in the immediate and mid-term aftermath things got worse in Russia. Russia ceded vast territories to Germany as part of the peace treaty (when Russia's allies appeared ot be on the brink of defeating Germany), a bloody Civil war broke out, there was famine, rule of terror by Lenin and, to an even greater degree, Stalin, multiple "purges" (executions and imprisonment) of both the Comunist party elite and the population as a whole, forced labor camps known as Gulag, complete dismantling of the agricultural base under guise of collectivization, and eventually Russian was dragged into World War II, to which it was utterly unprepared and was almost destroyed as a nation.
The fact that Communism was roundly denounced in Russia in 1991, that the Soviet Union broke apart, and the economy has been gradually converting to some form of Capitalism, and the society - to a Democracy, can be seen as proof positive that Russia did not improve after the revolution, and that it took Russians 70 years to begin to undo the changes brought on by the revolution.

What happened on march 15 1917?
The Germans launched Operation Michael (commonly known as the German Spring Offensive of 1918).
Operation Michael introduced new methods of warfare, and were the testing grounds for the Storm Trooper (Stoßstruppen), men that were equipped and trained specifically to break through the weak points in enemy defenses and be able to weaken trenches and their support significantly, allowing the armies that followed them to defeat the trench easily; breaking the deadlock on the Western Front.
In the offensive and battles that followed, the Germans managed to make massive (in first world war terms) territorial gains that had not been seen since the opening days of 1914. Eventually the offensive outstretched itself and petered out, and was finally reversed during the Battle of Amiens.
The Spring Offensive was essentially Germany's last ditch effort to win the First World War, you could call it the Kaiser's Gambit; the German field armies were desperately trying to outrun defeat at home with victory on the battlefield, since public support for the war was waning very quickly. The Americans were also beginning to land in France, the manpower on the Entente side would soon stack up significantly against the Central Powers, and if the opportunity was not siezed upon, it was thought, the Germans would have no chance to bring an end to the war.
