Russia in recent times has used other means of death penalty for political "difficultirs". Jailing opponrnts was not permanent enough, and expats were not in reach of the legal channels.
Methods lately seem to include....
Radioactive isotope laced exposures.
Novochock poison, really only available to the political leaders and military manufacture.
Lastly often people have had intensive flying lessons from high level windows.
Far more indirect, take serious criminals, offer two choices, continue to rot in jail or 'volunteer' to serve in the "non war" in Ukraine, and be pardoned of any crimes. Of course they were sent to front lines, no training, non or barely functioning museum milotary equipment, limited munition supplies, little in way of provisions. Survival rates extremely low.
No Russia does not need 'Capital Punishments', anyone on wrong side of politics was a walking dead case, soon removed or just permanently missing.

Sweden switched left hand driving to right hsnd several decades back, but was for most of 1900s like UK, India, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and a number of former British places a Left hand country.
On switchover day, traffic had to stop for a number of hours, as signage and traffic lights were finalised in opposite side layout. Traffic then continued but on right side. Of course many cars were still right side steering, and is easy enough when you get familiar. UK vehicles run fine in Europe, and European cars do ok in Britain.
I have for many years driven both left and right hand drive cars in many countries. Both in Australia, several European countries, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, of course Germany and UK, and also Japan, South Korea, all as part of development and testing of cars. Never had issues switching sides, even with short 1 hr flights Germany to England and back needing to drive dufferent cars at each end of the flight, even after 11 hrs working day, so in relatively tired state, and winter weather with car heater giving a snug warm "sleepy" state of driving.
Only issue, while completely safe, was once following other traffic onto an Autobahn, while still driving in valid right hand traffic mode, but going opposite to the intended direction and needing at next exit, some 12 km later, switch to going where I really needed to go.
