The short answer is that Germany figured out that allowing parliamentary reform (Bismarck's "Staatssozialismus" social programs) could sate organized labor enough to prevent a communist revolution, which is exactly what happened when the social democrats betrayed the communists. Russia was too little, too late with reforms. The Duma was obviously a sham, the elites were too out-of-touch and too used to crushing dissidents, and their devastated pre-industrial economy couldn't have offered many decent social programs anyway.
