Abstract: Over a quarter of Russians lives in rural areas. The living standards gap between rural and urban populations has been widening. The countryside has become an unattractive place to live especially to people of working age. The goal of this research is to develop the Russian rural areas typology, which can be used in shaping a differentiated approach to rural development management. The author created the information framework for research on the municipal districts of the Russian Federation, divided them into groups according to the values of suggested typological criteria, and developed the Russian rural areas typology based on the analysis of the groups’ composition. The validity of typology is supported by the main economic, demographic and spatial indicators of the rural areas: the differences in the median values of indicators for the typological groups of the Russian regions’ municipal districts were revealed.
