The article covers some aspects of the history of the Russian state impact on entrepreneurship at the end of the 19th - early 20th centuries. The stages of the evolution of the state-legal system regulating the Russian entrepreneurship are determined and characterized. The author examines the features of the Russian entrepreneurship starting up in the second half and the end of the 19th century. The conclusion is made that the beginning of the Russian entrepreneurship as a certain social and economic phenomenon characterized by risk-taking activity implemented in pursuing systematic profit falls on the second half of the 19th century, which was rather late in comparison with western countries. However the experience of private entrepreneurship of the second half of the 19th century promoted the working out of new standard acts regulating trade and industrial activity with a view of its further development.
