Well by that logic they would obviously lay mines themselves, and certainly wouldn't leave tracks all over the place 2 weeks prior to the explosions.
Those tracks are obviously just drifting or perhaps looking for something. I don't think the Russians mislaid their own pipeline. Maybe communications lines? Or smuggling? Looking for lost treasure?
In any case the point stands, it just makes no sense for the Russians to do this, and this presentation is in no way any kind of evidence in support of that theory IMHO.
The Septemeber Minerva tracks are from two weeks before the explosion (it left the area Sep 13th and the explosions were early morning on the 26th) that timing seems to implicate rather than exonerate..

The Minerva isn't a Russian ship, it's a Greek oil tanker.. if the Russians had a tip about the pipelines being mined, surely they would investigate it themselves or with a ship that's equipped to examine the sea floor instead of a tanker with no such capabilities?
