An absolutist is more than a monarchist. Remember this is right after the 1905 Revo. The absolutists wanted the tsar to remain an absolute autocrat, whereas a mere monarchist was satisfied with a constitutional monarchy.

Interestingly, in the blood libel trial of Mendel Beilis in 1911 (accused of the Jewish ritual killing of a young boy -- he was found innocent), the prosecution could not find a single Orthodox priest willing to stand up in court and testify to the existence of blood libel. They had to dig up a Catholic professor of Hebrew in Tashkent.
