I flew on a Russian domestic flight 10-ish years ago, and people were still lighting up cigarettes on the plane if that says anything.

Weird, smoking on civillian aircrafts was forbidden in 2002.

2002 was only 8-9 years ago.

You might want to check what year it is.

There are only two countries that have allowed smoking on planes in the past decade: Cuba, and China.

Both have banned it. China was the last to do so, with their ban on pilots smoking that only began getting enforced in 2019.
