Islam Makhachev criticizes Dagestan construction problems amid flooding

Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to Dagestan's chaotic construction issues, particularly in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, as flooding ravaged the region, Makhachev called on local leadership to address the construction problem, stating the capital had become one giant disorganized construction site. He recently reposted content from geography teacher Dmitry Koryukhin showing aerial photographs of Makhachkala that illustrate the urban planning disaster. The post highlights the broader Russian issue of excessive high-rise construction in cities with stagnant or declining populations. Makhachev's advocacy on this civic issue demonstrates his awareness of regional problems beyond his fighting career.
