This is exactly what I would expect if Russia blew up the pipeline themselves in order to play the victim and rally domestic support for the regime by pretending to be under attack.
Ah yes, "come die for a pipeline we weren't even using". What rallying cry could more inflame the patriotistic passions? Even the reddest of commie Russians would run to their local recruitment office after hearing that.

I guess something can't be propaganda as long as you personally don't find it to be highly convincing. lol
If it is propaganda, RIP to Russia's propaganda department.
