Islam Makhachev criticizes chaotic construction development in Dagestan

Islam Makhachev has once again drawn attention to the problem of disorganized construction in Dagestan, particularly in Makhachkala. He addressed regional leadership 17 days ago during flooding in Dagestan, stating that "Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site." Makhachev recently reposted content from geographer Dmitry Koryukhin, a school teacher in Dagestan and 2025 Teacher of the Year, who shared aerial photographs of Makhachkala showing what he described as an urban catastrophe. The post describes widespread issues with new residential complexes built close together, unauthorized construction, and 30-story buildings being erected in cities with stagnant or declining populations. Makhachev is being praised for highlighting this regional issue.
