Russian monarchs like Peter the Great increased the power of the nobility, while English monarchs like Elizabeth I refused to consult with the English Parliament.

Russian monarchs deeply resented the intrusion of religious authorities into affairs of state, while English monarchs believed they owed allegiance to the head of the Church.

Russia thrived economically under absolute monarchs, while England relied on Parliament to rebuild after the English Civil War.
