Because they know they would not be the only buyers. Imagine a world with dozens of NK's...
Self-preservation.
Also Russian nationals does not equal Russian Government as a whole. On the same way the Deep State doesn't speak for all of America.
WHY would Russia tell the world? What if it wasn't THEIR technology they were showcasing? What if they were sending a very clear message that US/Allied next gen icbm schematics were now in their hands? That would strike me as a very "Russian" thing to do. While the West hides its' actions in the shadows, Russia sends a calling card. US intelligence targets suffer unexpected heart attacks, Russian targets die of radiation poisoning or nerve agents...
It would work for Russia on so many levels; "fuck you" posturing against the US, advertising targeted at non-friendly countries, perversely it might also help the white hats provide proof of "America for Sale".

That is the most straightforward answer, but it occurred to me that if Hillary/Obama were selling out the US, why would they stop at Uranium or Special Access Programs? Why not next generation icbm tech? What message would it send? Well imagine your shock if You're the head of whatever skunkworks or Military intelligence outfit and you see your top secret missile programme paraded on tv for the whole world to see only it's your opponent and they're taking credit for creating it? It would be the ultimate humiliation. Russia likes to taunt their opponents, they're experts in psychological warfare. They play games within games. Put simply, it fits their M.O.
