Coal mines were once a bloodstream for Romania, a source of economic vitality in the days of Communist rule. Ribbons of exhaust from smokestacks were a signature of a modern, 20th-century state, and the rich mines of Romania’s Jiu Valley employed tens of thousands, generating vibrant cities. Now, prompted by budgetary constraints and the European Union’s clean air mandates, most of the mines have closed. Housing complexes have emptied as families move elsewhere for jobs. Gavrila Vaduva is one of the few remaining local miners, the third generation in his family to work in coal. “We gave them our time, sweat, hard work and even our health,” he said. “In return we want nothing more than a paycheck and a pension.” @kevinfaingnaert shot these photos.
