Although a secular funeral rite has been performed for public figures from the time of the Revolution, efforts to establish it for ordinary Soviet citizens have begun relatively late, that is from the middle sixties to the early seventies onwards. Up to then ritual specialists had shied away from its institution because they realized the great philosophical and organizational problems involved in creating and conducting a secular funeral rite.
