But you know what, I'll drop a few for you anyway and then I'm done.

1. Sergei Skripal is a former Russian spy that defected.
2. In 2010, Putin threatened to kill traitors like Skripal.
3. Former Russian spy that defected, Boris Karpichkov, was threatened, along others including Skripal 3 weeks prior to poisoning.
4. Russian developed and stockpiled nerve agent.
5. Specific agent used to kill by Russian security services on several occasions.
6. Nerve agent traced to being stowed in daughter's suit case while she was still in Moscow.

Ahem - you don't seriously consider that an answer to my question, right? You're just desperately trying to distract from the fact that you cannot give an answer to my actual question, correct?

"Please, name me just one plausible explanation why russia, out of all the billions of reliable ways they could have killed the guy, they decided to try to kill him in the one way that instantly points towards them, and which is obviously extremely unreliable (since none of the victims died so far)."

You aren't very bright if you really can't answer that yourself. Well, here is it: Russia wanted to "get caught", because it doesn't want its own agents/military personel to defect. This sends a strong message to other agents who are possibly planning to defect: there is no line that Russia won't hesitate to cross to kill them. This should be very obvious, so I don't know why you haven't figured it out.

And this nerve gas that was used is probably quite hard to handle/use, so maybe that is the reason why they haven't died yet. But from what I have read about this gas, they probably are as good as dead. Maybe it was even planned that way.
