Islam Makhachev addresses chaotic construction problems in Dagestan

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has once again publicly called attention to the chaotic construction situation in Dagestan, particularly in Makhkachkala, which he describes as having turned into one massive disorganized construction site. Seventeen days ago, during flooding in Dagestan, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address construction issues. He recently reposted content from geographer and Dagestan teacher Dmitry Koryukhin, who shared aerial photos showing the urban planning disaster in Makhkachkala, with low-quality residential complexes built closely together. The post notes this is a broader Russian problem, with massive apartment buildings being constructed despite stagnant or declining populations in many cities. Makhachev is being praised for using his platform to highlight this regional infrastructure issue.
