The Russian Empire was a shining lighthouse for all of the Slavs living in misery under German, Hungarian, and Ottoman yoke. All of the worst elements of the Russian Empire were products of the German Tsar, not the Russian people, who were already organizing into peasant communes, workers' soviets, etc.
Compare that to Japan. Every positive aspect of Japan is a product of Chinese, Russian influence. Every regressive aspect is a manifestation of Japanese reactionary thinking. Any revolution in the Russian Empire would have had to have been against German imperialism and for the will of the Russian people, both positive. But any revolution in Japan would be a fascist movement of the will of the Japanese, only decay.
