Concerning WWI:

The Russian Revolution of 1917, Lenin's Communist uprising against the Tsar, profoundly affected World War I. Before the Russian Revolution, the Russian Empire was a member of the Triple Entente (World War I's "Allied Powers:" the UK, France, Russia, and later the US) and was the principle fighting force against Germany and Austria-Hungary's eastern borders and against the Ottoman Empire. However, with the murder of the Tsar and the fall of Russia into Communism, the Russians ended their involvement in the War with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The Russians withdrew, and the Germans and Austrians fought on against Britain and France in the trenches of northern France and Belgium. The War went on for far longer than it would have if Russia had stayed in the fight.

Concerning WWII:

The Russian Revolution brought Lenin, and therefore Stalin (Lenin's successor) to power. Stalin's numerous political interactions with Hitler and the Third Reich played a major role in WWII events. The Nazi-Soviet Pact, the Secret Partition of Poland, and the surprise attack of Operation Barbarossa were all made possible by Nazi-Soviet friendship, which Hitler betrayed when he invaded the USSR in 1941 (Barbarossa). The fact that the USSR was Communist and that Nazi Germany was fascist heightened Nazi-Soviet tensions (fascism and Communism don't get along well). Communism, the direct product of Lenin's 1917 revolution, would come to define not only an important part of WWII but also the majority of the 20th Century (the Cold War).
