Abstract: The article contains a comparative analysis of the level of poverty in urban and rural areas of the Russia. The transformation of the poverty localization coefficient in rural areas, calculated according to the author's methodology and indicating that Russian poverty has a "peasant face", is presented. The main factors of localization of poverty in rural areas are argued, consisting in a low public assessment of agricultural labor and high unemployment, largely due to the mono-employment of the rural population. The characteristic of the level of social protection of the poor in rural areas is given. Priority mechanisms for reducing rural poverty and rural-urban inequality in its spread in rural and urban areas are substantiated.
