Czasy reżimu komunistycznego to okres próby wychowania „nowego człowieka” ideowo przekonanego o słuszności dziejowej nastania rządów komunistycznych w Polsce. Narzędziami w tym procesie byli ludzie, którzy zetknęli z założeniami tej ideologii jeszcze w okresie międzywojennym, a trudna sytuacji egzystencjalna, panujące bezrobocie, jedynie utwierdziła ich samych w słuszności tej ideologii. Jedną z osób bezgranicznie przekonanych o słuszności ideologii marksistowsko-leninowskiej była Wiktoria Hetmańska. Obrządek świecki w czasie jej pogrzebu jest tego dowodem.

The period of the comunistic regime was the time of the great attempt to create “the new human” ideologically convinced about historical rightness of the advent of the communistic authority in Poland. The people, who encountered with the assumptions of this ideology during the interwar period were the tools in that process. Difficult conditions of existence and unemployment even more confirmed the rightness of this ideology in themselves. Wiktoria Hetmańska was one of the people, who were absolutely convinced about the rightness of ideology of marxism and leninism. The one of the evidences of such conviction was the secular ceremony of her funeral.
