Islam Makhachev criticizes chaotic construction in Dagestan amid flooding

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has repeatedly highlighted the problem of uncontrolled construction in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, during severe flooding in the region, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address the construction crisis, stating that Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site. Today he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan, showing aerial photographs that reveal the urban disaster. The post describes how low-quality residential complexes are being built in close proximity to each other, along with numerous unauthorized constructions, despite a stagnant or declining population in many Russian cities.
