Abstract

This article considers the theory and practice of implementation of two types of national mega-projects essential in modern Russia: event-strategic and infrastructure mega-projects. The author presents his own approach to the general classification of mega-projects, based on the expansion of the approaches of Russian scientists by distinguishing two main types of mega-projects (event-related and infrastructural), different from the existing mega-project classifications by participants, sources of financing, the scope of implementation; and the introduction of a new basis for the classification of mega-projects - by the instruments used for their implementation. The article describes the main problems of implementation of mega-projects. The uniqueness of mega-projects predetermined the risks of their implementation, which are described in the study. The specificity of such type of mega-project as event-strategic state-significant set forth in the article, and its author's definition is presented. The basis of the proposed definition of event-strategic state-significant mega-projects was the study of criteria, types, risks of mega-projects. The general algorithm and tools for such events, as well as experience in the implementation of event-strategic state-significant mega-projects in the regions of Russia is described in the paper. The immensity of implementation of infrastructure mega-projects has allowed us to give consideration only to some of them. The author substantiates the necessity of distinguishing among the national mega-projects a special type of projects - epoch-making mega-projects - as a condition of Russia's advance in the prism of global competition and the need to ensure sustainable and safe development of regions.
