One of my acquaintances at the university decided to get stuck, gave a course to students-economists - to make an investment project for the construction of SCHGES, BAM, nuclear icebreaking fleet, Norilsk metcombinate, Kamsky automotive plant, as if they were not, but need to be built in today's conditions. He later studied about 20 works of his students. None of them even thought that such large-scale projects could be carried out at the expense of domestic reserves (and it was under the conditions of a oil shell, when a barrel for a hundred!) and the repayment times of projects in general turned out to be somewhat fantastic. For example, one of the future steering economies of new Russia (by the way, graduated from the university with a red diploma) came to the conclusion that if the SŠGES is built today, the repayability of the project will be achieved in 60 years. Even if we assume that he was twice wrong, and the costs will only pay back in 30 years, it is still obvious that such a project today is not realisable in principle. No one will invest money in a business with such a repayment period, if you can give a bribe, who should, turbid the land near the bustling road, build a hypermarket there and repel the bullshit in 2-3 years.
