The legal regulation of sustainable rural development has a long history. This comprehensive analysis of legislation regulating the public relations in rural areas views it as part of development of domestic science, technology, economy, and society. A retrospective analysis of the Soviet period and the transitional period revealed the main stages and approaches to sustainable rural development. A set of formal-legal, comparative-legal, systemic, historical-legal, sociological, and statistical methods made it possible to identify the goals for improving the regulatory framework for sustainable rural development, e.g., an integrated human-centered approach, high-quality resource management, integral digital transformation of local governments, digital literacy of rural residents, independent information technology resources for the analysis of urban-rural migration, organized rural tourism, green economy based on socio-ecological subsystems, green legislation, etc.
