With Remote Desktop Connection, there are two computers involved, the one connecting and the one getting the connection. For this question, we'll call the latter "receiver".
Is there any record in the "receiver" (not the sender) when a "sender" has connected to it, like a log or an event log entry? If so, how to activate this log (if it is not already active) and, in any case, how to read it?

The Even Viewer will have details on connections made to the server pc.
Click Start, in the Start Search field type Event Viewer, press Enter.
When the program opens check under Windows Logs -> Security
Logons made from a remote desktop connection will list the following in the Task Category
Other Logon/Logoff Events
This will include the Session Name, Client Name, and Client Address.
There are also other Remote Desktop / Terminal Services related tasks that can be monitored from the Security tree.
