Abstract
The article considers approaches to analyzing and determining institutional and resource conditions for the functioning of the Siberian economy at different stages of the economic and political history of Russia. We show the change in concepts of the Russian imperial and Soviet experiences in implementing territorial megaprojects for the development of Siberia. We propose a methodological approach to assessing and comparing their scales. The authors performed an expert assessment of the comparative importance of megaprojects for the economy of the country and the Siberian macroregion at different stages of historical development. It is shown that to date no stable trends have been formed that correspond to the quantitative parameters of state priority in relation to Siberia. It is concluded that the implementation of megaprojects is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for the accelerated modernization of the economy and the achievement of largescale national and regional goals.
