https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_umbrella is basically the same thing and your linked article mentions the CIA stole the idea from the Russians.

Isn't that more likely to be some kind of training mission for a junior agent? (make it personal, not totally clean and get away with it anyway?)
When they just want to make sure to kill someone, dumping a few magazines into the body and driving over it afterwards for good measure, like that ex-pilot in Spain, appears to do the trick just fine.
To be fair FSB/GRU doesn’t really care about it being secret
A lot of assassinations are sending a message
Russia abandoned a lot of the “secret” part of their dirty ops in the past decade and just farms it out
