The world is so full with human tragedies that we often forget tragedies of others. Thanks to M.B. as she reminded to me one of them - the tragedy of the Aral Sea.
The Aral Sea - once a beautiful inland lake full with vibrant and unique fish reserves, 40,000-employees-strong fishing industry that supplied one sixth of Soviet demand for fish and since 1940s, a terrible Soviet biological weapons laboratory full of anthrax reserves capable to destroy plenty of world's population - now is completely dead. Starting from 1960s, brutal Soviet irrigation system that turned Uzbekistan into a cotton heaven left The Aral Sea as a tiny puddle. Even the voice of Chinghiz Aitmatov couldn't help.
