Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to what he calls the "chaotic construction" problem in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. The UFC champion highlighted low-quality residential complexes built close together and numerous unauthorized constructions. Seventeen days ago, during flooding in Dagestan, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address the construction issues, stating that "Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site." Recently, he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a schoolteacher in Dagestan, who shared aerial photographs of Makhachkala showing what was described as an urban catastrophe. The post notes that Makhachev deserves credit for highlighting this regional problem.
