Painting of back of a man's bald head with hands crossed over his head. In the dark time of these terrors, there were people who tried to pay no attention to these atrocities, pretending that they had no problems, and that these horrors were not happening. This man has no problem because he doesn't see and he doesn't hear. But in the Soviet Union, even though the person might know what is happening, he had to behave as though nothing was happening. The Russian text translates: "u menia net problem" English Translation: "I don't have a problem"
