Even though Tsarist Russia was dealing with a ton internal political issues, and didn't have the most advanced armaments and troops at their disposal, those alone don't really account for all of the reasons why Germany was able to advance and hold on to so much Russian territory between 1914-17

Through successive campaign seasons, in the face of Russian winters and Raputitsas, the German army seemed to be able to do what no army (aside from the Mongols) had ever done before. Beat Russia consistently during a land invasion and conquer their territory outright.

Tactically and strategically, how were they able to do this?

Where does this somewhat vastly underrated feat rank on your scale of impressive military victories? (Or maybe it doesn't at all?)
