Summary:The paper compares genesis of functional components and variables of rural entrepreneurship in Croatia and Russia. Rural entrepreneurship is for a long time in the focus of considerable theoretical and political interest in Russia and the European Union alike. Rural entrepreneurship stands not only as a vehicle of achieving sustainable food supply and improving the quality of life in rural communities but also plays an important part in the efforts to preserve country's cultural identity. We propose that the key aggravating features of today's development of rural entrepreneurship in Russia and Croatia alike can be found in history of economic development of these countries. Examination and comparison of antecedents of rural economic development in observed countries are traced back to the last decades of 19th century up until present day, and encompass five key categories: infrastructure, individual factors, social and cultural factors, economic factors and finally, administrative and legal factors. By analyzing and comparing key events and elements of economic development of rural areas we want to achieve better understanding of the present situation in order to devise a better approach to further fostering of rural entrepreneurship in Russia and Croatia.
