Abstract: On the basis of research of the European and Russian experience in the development of the rural areas the directions of adaptation of the European experience to the Russian conditions are offered. Currently, the development of rural areas is a strategic challenge in many countries around the world. In this case, the experience of the European Union policy for rural development is quite interesting. European rural development policy is in constant development, depending on the challenges facing rural areas. The policy of development of the rural territories of the European Union has changed from orientation on agricultural industry and providing with food before development of the rural territories, support of local initiatives, preserving rural cultural, historical and natural heritage now. In Russia the creation of conditions for a sustainable development of the rural territories is one of important strategic objectives of a state policy. Legislatively development of the rural zone was fixed with adoption in 2010 of the Concept of a sustainable development of the rural territories of the Russian Federation for the period till 2020. Implementation of the Concept is relayed on the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia with participation of different federal executive bodies. Despite the introduction of new state measures to support the rural development, state policy for rural areas development still is at an early stage. Experience of the European Union in the field of rural development policy and its adaptation to Russian conditions could have a positive impact on future policy development of rural areas of the Russian Federation, which will bring the rural areas of our country to a new level.
