Wait, doesn't "шутняк" mean "a joke" or "I'm just joking/kidding" ?
It might be that, in many cases, but not in this one. He didn’t say any jokes before she asked him about the war, he just waves away her question hoping she stops asking once she learns it’s OK there.
И всё-таки, что же такое "шутняк"?
Я искал в Интернете, но ничего кроме Соколов Юрий Михайлович. Контора (самая последняя сноска) не нашёл.

No one knows for sure what "шутняк" is here, even native Russian speakers, so chalk it up to weird criminal slang, or maybe scriptwriters fantasy.
Perhaps, this suggestion would be the best explanation in this case

That post reminded me of a Baptist girl I knew when I was a kid. She was my senior by three or four years, and I met her in a pioneer camp where I went one summer. She was a group leader (вожатая). I was very surprised to meet someone who was openly a believer (she was quite frank about that) yet was wearing the red scarf at the same time. I guess the generally laid-off, "live and let live" attitude that was predominant in the town rubbed off on her parents and they decided to go easy on her and let her join the pioneer organization. She was a nice person, and she was good with us younger kids, so we (and most of us had been brought up as atheists) didn't give her hard time about her religion. Nor did the camp and school authorities, who knew was religious and, technically, she shouldn't have been allowed to join pioneers, leave alone being a group leader, but... I guess in the place where I used to live, the fact that someone was a good person meant much more than their political or religious beliefs. Everyone knew everyone else, and people were generally nice. (Well, of course, there were some exceptions).Originally Posted by it-ogo
I had a similar girl in my class, she joined a cloister after school. But she was a pioneer, and until this moment I did not even think that there was something weird about it.
Her believes did not affect her relationships with her peers or teachers at all (though she was very shy and was not not very open about her religion, so most of the time we forgot that she was religious). Mostly people thought of it as her personal quirk.
Thanks again to all!

Does this make sense to anyone?

Is the kid talking about a rubber band?
thanks!

It's a joke, a rephrase of "Будет и на нашей улице праздник". English analogs are: "The darkest hour is before the dawn." "Fortune knocks once at least at every man's gate." "Every dog has its day."
Literally: "Don't trouble, some day a money collector will pass our street as well". It is assumed that money collector will be immediately robbed and his money will provide celebration to all the street.
Elastic band in his trousers or underpants broke. He needs a clasp-pin to fix it up temporarily.
"Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?
It’s an allusion to the saying “Ничего, будет и на нашей улице праздник”
What else other than a cause for celebration would it be for a hard criminal to meet a money collector carrying a big bag full of cash with a dollar sign on it going casually by?
He means a safety pin to temporarily reattach the ends of a torn rubber band.
"Враг уже испытал однажды силу ударов Красной Армии под Ростовом, под Москвой, под Тихвином. Недалёк тот день, когда враг узнает силу новых ударов Красной Армии. Будет и на нашей улице праздник!"
И. Сталин, 7 ноября 1942 год.
Actually my classmate was neither shy nor religious by herself. It was about her parents. I am not sure what exactly they have against pioneer organization. Probably they were just against the whole atheistic communist ideology.I had a similar girl in my class, she joined a cloister after school. But she was a pioneer, and until this moment I did not even think that there was something weird about it.

- И Образцовой отнес
does anyone know what this refers to?
thanks!
Кому - нары, кому - Канары.
Образцова - это та женщина, к-рая раздавала пилотки.
Образцова is the last name of the camp’s principal.
Артек was and is now, but not as glorious as it used to be in the communist era, a famous pioneer’s camp in Crimea.
"I believe we shall rise to the challenge. I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow men."
Ronald Reagan, March 8, 1983
"It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting."
Søren Kierkegaard

И для чего этот клоун в этой теме?
That was you who launched this first.
Я показал откуда стала популярна фраза Будет и на нашей улице праздник.
При чем здесь старый маразматик Рейган?Седьмого вечером приходят газеты с докладом Сталина. Мы его уже давно ждем. По радио ничего разобрать не удается - трещит эфир. Только - "и на нашей улице будет праздник" - разобрали. Фразу эту обсуждают во всех землянках и траншеях.
В. Некрасов, "В окопах Сталинграда"
