The relevance of the topic of the article lies in the fact that even at the current stage of its existence in Ukraine, the non-linearity of political development associated with transitory jumps and systemic tension caused by the modern Russian-Ukrainian war can be traced. In essence, the existing changes in the political regime in Ukraine are connected with the defense of the state essence, which are a reflection on external challenges. In order to determine the type of political regime in Ukraine, it is first of all necessary to take into account the interaction and choice of various factors in the context of the historical formation of Ukrainian statehood. Therefore, it is very important to reflect on the current period of time in which Ukraine found itself, because it is usually after such times that the strengthening of democratic processes and transformational upsurges take place. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the former state of the political system in Ukraine, which can be the main factor in understanding the value of modern democratic transformations, because for a long time the mission of the Ukrainian state remained undefined, which requires clarification of this mission and other tasks, goals, directions and vectors of development. Democratization should become a key mechanism for reforming public administration, which is currently one of the most important and important components of the political process in Ukraine. It is very interesting to track exactly how democratic state formation is taking place in our country and to determine the characteristic features of this process from the point of view of transitology as one of the post-communist countries, which are aimed at the consolidation of democracy. The purpose of the article is to determine of the specifics of the transformation of the political regime in Ukraine, which not only changed every time, but also acquired new qualities and characteristics, which affected the state-building process and socio-political development. This refers to an attempt to determine the peculiarities of the Ukrainian version of the transition from an authoritarian political regime to a democratic system in order to clarify the peculiarities of the democratization scenario.
