Russia raised a stink when their bridge got blown up but nothing but crickets over the pipeline.

Maybe you just weren't paying attention as much. They did talk extensively about it.
This is not true. They waited because they were not given access to the site, and after some time extensively accused the British.

Also, the Western media selects what it reports from Russia.

Obviously. There was some mild deflection attempts, but they were risible at best.

They don't want to advertise their capabilities in an official manner, even though they were the ones threatening all the internet cables around. Not sure if Sweden's investigation proved it was from outside or inside, but of course, if it's from inside then it really limits who could have done it.

"I see zero reasons why Russia would attack its own infrastructure" only points at one's lack of imagination or intellectual honesty really.

Imagination can help one paint any kind of picture in their head indeed, but maybe lets keep it in check at least to the point of basic sanity and reason?

Seriously. The mental gymnastics in some of these comments are truly astounding. But after how many years of Russiagate, I can’t be surprised.
Are you reading Russian news directly, or do you rely on someone to report them to you?

It was a hot topic in Russian media outlets.
