Islam Makhachev criticizes chaotic construction development in Dagestan

UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to what he calls the "chaotic construction" problem in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. Makhachev addressed regional leadership 17 days ago during flooding in Dagestan, saying the city has "turned into one chaotic construction site" and urging officials to address the building situation. He recently reposted comments from geography teacher Dmitry Koryukhin, who shared aerial photographs showing the urban disaster of poorly planned development. The post describes widespread problems including new low-quality residential complexes built extremely close together, numerous unauthorized constructions, and 30-story buildings being erected in cities with stable or declining populations. Makhachev's public statements highlight concerns about uncontrolled development affecting the region's infrastructure and livability.
