    I am not understanding the question.

    Is the premise that risk pooling among individuals, which is the basic scheme for all insurance, is in some sense dependent on private interests?

      The premise is “how did the Soviet Union handle the concept of car insurance?”

      And as it happens, they had a state-run (and monopolistic) plan like OP suggested.

      No idea if it was any good though.

        The question feels less suited to a forum for socialism generally than for Soviet history.

        Ultimately, the insurance may be organized by a company, a state, or a cooperative. Socialists of course are united in being most opposed to the first.

          I hope people here found the question interesting, however I see how my question could better suit a history community.
