It pays special attention to the difficulties, which emerged during planning and construction of the pipeline and is based on international secondary literature as well as archive material from Berlin, Warsaw and Moscow. The article concludes that due to a lack of clarity concerning financing and repayment modes, the involved countries did not try to realize comparable large-scale infrastructure projects in the 1980s. Instead, the Soviet Union turned to financially stronger countries in the West.</p> ER -
