By the end of 1915 the Central Powers had achieved significant victories over Russia and finally crushed Serbia.
Russian defeat was so thorough that they couldn't lauch another offensive until 1916 and it was a failure..from now on Russia was not a major actor and subsequently withdrew from the war after the 1917 revolution and the subsequent chaos.
