Having people treated differently to achieve equal outcomes is what we strive for. When it's shown that minorities are discriminated against in hiring, people suggest affirmative action to level the playing field. When somebody is asked to testify again dangerous people, they're put in witness protection to be afforded the same security as any average citizen.
When somebody carries a unique cultural status, such that they would surely be killed if left to their own devices, that person is given protection to ensure that they live, and aren't handed a death sentence without trial. That's not what Russia does. Really, one could argue that "not letting a political figure get assassinated" is the exact opposite of what Russia does.
Presidents didn't have lifetime secret service protection, and if I recall VP ended as soon as the term ended.
You have example of accommodations related to work, or when somebody testifies against dangerous criminal. I don't recall we provide any assistance when somebody is going to jail to ensure equality. In fact the only thing we do makes things unequal.
Reality Winner was deemed a flight risk when she leaked a single document to newspaper. This guy was free to walk immediately after, didn't even have to pay a bail.
As for risk of assassination. The secret service is provided by the government. So is jail. The government makes sure that convicts don't escape but also controls who gets in. To protect inmate from others they can isolate them as well.
