Islam Makhachev criticizes chaotic construction issues in Dagestan

Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to the chaotic and unregulated construction problems plaguing Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. The UFC champion reposted a geography teacher and 2025 Dagestan Teacher of the Year, Dmitry Koryukhin, who shared aerial images illustrating the urban planning disaster caused by densely packed, low-quality residential complexes and unauthorized construction. Seventeen days prior, during flooding in Dagestan, Makhachev called on regional leadership to address the construction crisis, stating that Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site. The post highlights Makhachev's use of his platform to advocate for better governance and urban planning in his home region. Details on any official response to his criticism are not mentioned.
