Abstract: The article emphasizes that rural areas are a mobilization resource of society and a place of salvation of the nation in the event of emergency situations, man-made accidents or war. This is confirmed by the historical facts of the period of the Great Patriotic War, as well as the latest events in the development of coronavirus infection. The attitude of the legislative and executive authorities to rural areas mainly as a source of food production, the development of latifundism, the prohibition of villagers to keep farm animals, the inaccessibility of state support measures for small economic sectors leads to squeezing out the economically active population from the land, reducing farms, migration and depopulation of rural areas, loss of mobilization opportunities by rural areas. Maintaining the mobilization function of rural areas requires the presence of existing settlements and jobs in rural areas with the prospect of rapid development of production, which must take into account agricultural policy.
