Abstract
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of megaprojects in Russia and China. The ability and ability to initiate and successfully implement such projects in the national interest qualifies as a measure of the effectiveness and sovereignty of the State. The authors considered the essence of megaprojects and their role in the development of the national and regional economy, analyzed the most ambitious Russian megaprojects and the conditions for their implementation. The most significant risks of implementing megaprojects in Russia have been identified. The need for megaprojects is due to the intensification of global competition and the need to ensure the sustainable and safe development of the regions. Recommendations for improving the efficiency of megaprojects are proposed.
