In the Soviet Union, capital punishment was carried out by various methods, including firing squads, hanging, and later, the use of a single gunshot to the back of the head. These methods were employed for different periods throughout the Soviet Union's history, depending on the prevailing laws and policies.

What does that have to do with the conversation being had here?

Also, not that any of this is relevant to the actual topic at hand, but that's different from the United States... How?

Just this year Idaho approved the firing squad as a means of execution. It joined 4 other states.

We now use the lethal injection, but research is showing that it isn't painless, it just looks like it is. We used the electric chair for decades, and hanging before that.
