"During spring quarantine in Ukraine it was forbidden to use sportgrounds, walk in the park. Later authorithies approved it was extra measure and there were no real danger in using sport or playgrounds. But they took it to scare population. This white and red restriction ribbon became a symbol of cancelled happiness and childhood. The title of the work refers to popular slogan of soviet times "Thank you Stalin for our happy childhood!". We appeared in situation of neo-totalitarism."
