A lack of leadership
The largest expansion in Russian history took place between the years of 1500 and 1800. During this time, Russia expanded from the Black Sea to the Oka River.
Almost certainly it was Peter the Great; he was the first great westward-looking tsar, defeated the Swedes (a fairly major power at the time led by a military genius of sorts) on the shore of the Baltic and founded St. Petersburg as his European capital.

During World War I, Russia's involvement was important to her Allies for primarily one reason. By remaining true to the Triple Alliance, Russia posed a threat to Germany (and the Austro-Hungarian Empire) from the East. This threat prevented Germany from dedicating all of its forces to the Western Front and thereby gave the Allies an advantage -- or at least balanced the odds for victory more favorably.
The time frame wasn't given to answer this question because Russia has been called more than one name. In World War II Russia was called the Soviet Union or the USSR.

No, it wasn't.
Apparently, Ivan the Terrible died from a stroke during a game of chess with Bogdan Belsky. It was on the 28th of March in 1584. His son Feodor was unfit to carry on his rule which threw Russia into the "Time of Troubles".
During that time period Russia was a Communist nation.
There was no president in Russia at this time. Russia has only had presidents since 1991. The Holocaust was in the 1940s.
