Abstract
This article examines the systemic relationship between the state of rural areas and the level of regional economic security, using the Republic of Kalmykia as an example. Key mechanisms of influence (food, demographic and labor, financial and budgetary, and infrastructure) are identified, and a comprehensive threat assessment is conducted. Based on an analysis of statistical data for 2023–2025, High interdistrict differentiation, critical desertification of pastures (88.4% with a humus content of <2%), depopulation, and infrastructure degradation were identified in 13 municipal districts. Strategic priorities proposed include the formation of rural agglomerations, adaptive landscape land use, and digital transformation of agricultural management.
