Historically, Germans and Russians have been pretty angry. Just consider the way their languages sound...they're always yelling, and always harsh sounding. As a German example: Ich denke, dass flaumige Häschen tadellos fantastisch sind und sie mir Schmetterlinge in meinem Magen geben!
Just say that out loud in a suitably German voice, and you'll see it sounds angry. Don't bother babel-fishing it, though. It's not that important.
Russians, on the other hand, are so angry that not only does their language sound pissed off, but their alphabet has become twisted and enraged from constant use.
Я поэтому сердито, я смог как раз пробить щенка в своем милом носе кнопки.
Do the Russians have a history of defeating the Germans? Yes.
Am I part German? Yes. In fact, I had bratwurst and sauerkraut for dinner last night (no, really). However, I also used to have a Rasputin beard. So I'm conflicted.
I really wish I could vote for the Kaiser, but I'm afraid that Rootin' Tootin' Rasputin wins.
Rasputin's influence crippled Russia's war effort and very nearly won Germany the war. This is not a good start to this sort of fight.
Kaiser Wilhelm managed to get himself led into a massive boondoggle of a war which ruined his country and cost him his throne - but he still managed to survive the debacle and move to the Netherlands, so that's a point in his favour.
Still, we sort of have a pair of screwups here. Rasputin was really only good at sleeping with people and gradually dying, while Wilhelm wasn't particularly good at anything. Whomever wins is not likely to last long in the next round.
Still, after some serious consideration, I'm going to narrowly give this to Rasputin. For all his faults, he was at least consistant. Wilhelm didn't know what the hell he believed.

Also Rasputin looks like a hippie, and I can't vote for hippies because they suck.

Therefore, Rasputin for the win. He's angrier.
