Who actually paid for those pipelines?
Russians or Germans?

Who actually paid for those pipelines?

Gazprom paid half the cost of building Nord Stream 2.

The remainder of the $11 billion pipeline project was apparently financed by British oil and gas major Shell, Austria's OMV, France's Engie, Germany's Uniper and Norway's Wintershall DEA.

Thanks for asking the question.

I see we got an answer

The guys on The Duran were talking yesterday about how Gazprom was reluctant to go ahead with the project [NS2] - but Angela Merkel reassured them and Putin that no sanctions would ever affect Nordstream 2.

Apparently, the DC neocons have had it in for Nordstream 2 for a long, long time.
