Islam Makhachev highlights poor construction issues in Dagestan amid flooding

Islam Makhachev has once again drawn attention to the chaotic construction situation in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, during ongoing flooding in the region, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address the construction crisis, stating that Makhachkala has turned into one massive chaotic building site. Today he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan who was named Teacher of the Year in 2025, showing aerial photographs that reveal the urban planning disaster. The post notes that low-quality residential complexes are being built closely together, along with numerous unauthorized construction projects throughout the region.
