Islam Makhachev criticizes chaotic construction in Dagestan amid flooding

Islam Makhachev has once again drawn attention to the construction chaos in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala, which he describes as "one messy construction site." Seventeen days ago, as flooding ravaged the region, Makhachev called on regional leadership to address the building issue. He recently reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan who shared aerial photographs showing the urban disaster in Makhachkala. The post highlights the broader Russian problem of excessive residential construction, with massive apartment complexes being built in close proximity despite stagnant or declining populations in many cities. Many of these developments stand half-empty. The post praises Makhachev for recognizing and bringing attention to this ongoing issue affecting his home region.
