I wonder if we'll ever know who actually did it? The Russians blowing it never made sense to me, especially since the blast was from the outside of the pipe. Not the Germans either, as they could just turn it off at their end.
So who then?
Actually even Germany could have had motivation to blow it up. There was strong pressure from local far right groups to re-open trade with Russia, blowing up the pipelines has taken that option of the table. Maybe a bit extreme reaction to a minority group, but still a possible motive.
