with global vision and great courage died yesterday.
Unfortunately, capitalist greed and megalomania ensured
that things didn't pan out well for Russia.
The deep-sea Macropenna microstoma
has a unique kind of vision
thanks to huge rotating eyes. Will it survive
the onslaught of consumer-capitalism ?

"The barrel-eye fish has extremely light-sensitive eyes
that can rotate within a transparent, fluid-filled shield on its head.
The two spots above its mouth are similar to human nostrils."

Russia wasn't the only victim.
In the decade after Ceaușescu’s execution, Romania was 'robbed blind'. The resources needed to rebuild the state – steel, timber, oil – were snapped up by giant western European companies. Then the EU, citing environmental reasons, shut down many of the few great industries Romania had left.
