Islam Makhachev highlights chaotic construction problems in Dagestan

Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to the issue of uncontrolled construction in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. He describes the capital as having become "one chaotic construction site" with low-quality residential complexes built too close together and numerous unauthorized buildings. The post notes this is part of a broader Russian problem, with massive high-rise developments being built in cities where populations are stagnant or declining. Seventeen days ago, during flooding in Dagestan, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to address construction issues. More recently, he reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan who shared aerial photographs of Makhachkala showcasing what was described as an "urban catastrophe." The post praises Makhachev for recognizing this problem and bringing attention to it through his platform.
