Abstract: The article substantiates the relevance of continuing scientific research on the positive consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic for rural areas, which was conducted by the authors in 2020. Having revealed the similarity of the views of other scientists studied in the course of the study with ours, factual confirmations were found through the study of scientific publications, works, statistical materials. Modern challenges for the development of rural territories and the functioning of the rural economy were also identified, which requires the development of a set of measures aimed at further socio-economic support of the population and economic entities. The purpose of the study is to find evidence of the positive effects of such a negative disease on rural life, to consider the current challenges of rural development and to identify the main effective tools for managing rural development. When writing the arti-cle, monographic, computational-constructive, abstract-logical and statistical-economic research methods were used, as well as methods of system analysis and economic comparison. The result of the study was confirmation of positive changes in rural areas (positive migration growth, an increase in the number of domestic tourist trips, expansion of preferential rural mortgages, strengthening of targeted protection of the population, increased use of the Internet, etc.), and also revealed the impact of a special military operation on agriculture in the border regions of Russia. A set of measures has been developed to stabilize the situation in rural areas associated with all the negative consequences of the ongoing social processes.
