True.

But I thought that spies act suripticiously and out of the limelight, mostly.

It seems these chaps just didn't care who saw them...

Maybe the Russian regime wants people to know it was them, e.g. to send a message to other perceived traitors that they can't escape the Russian state and show Britain to be a weak country where this can happen on its own soil and it can do nothing about it.
Barney 40 years ago - it was beneficial not to have an Irish accent

Later, it was helpful to have a appearance which didn't suggest the Middle East

Now, Russians are in the alleged spy first division

"Brilliant! Looks like Jeremy’s managed to head off the anti- semitism debacle , at least until after conference.... Whoops! He’s moved on to advocating cooperation with the Russians on the novichok they poisoned our citizens with. Doooooh!!"

The two suspects going sight-seeing to Salisbury for under an hour and being put off by slush (Russians bothered by slush?)invisible on the CCTV cameras is also a bit funny.

Skripal suspects: 'We were just tourists in Salisbury'
Jo Not sure if claiming to have a geography degree, being on Facebook or previously visiting the UK would discount someone from being a spy.
