However, there are almost no researches related to the retrospective analysis of the formation conditions of the modern insurance market. In particular, the period of insurance in Ukraine during 1988-1991 (transitional period, or period of demonopolization of insurance system), which has laid the foundation for a formation of the national insurance market, is highlighted quite fragmentary and intermittently. The author considers that awareness (understanding and disclosure) of mechanism of the industry transformation during a state system changes is necessary to distance in time. From this view, the disclosure of the problem is carried in terms of the present and after more than 20 years of insurance functioning in independent Ukraine.

Also, the author has conducted a thorough study of state insurance companies’ transformations (Ukrderzhstrakh and Inderzhstrakh of the USSR) and the result of their transformations – appearance of the first commercial insurance companies in Ukraine. In the article the financial and legal prerequisites and transformational period conversion monopolization of insurance in Ukraine are investigated, which laid the foundations for the formation of the national insurance market.
