It essentially comes down to the way the countries were ruled. In Russia the leaders ruled with an iron fist and nobody dared question a philosophy that said people would give up their will, due to brute force, in exchange for some kind of security. For the Russian people it was better to do as they were told than face punishment. In England the way of life was very different. People were poor and would consider doing as they were told in exchange for security, but the government didn't rule by brute force, there was some element of free will. For that reason absolutism couldn't work.
