Islam Makhachev highlights construction problems in Dagestan amid flooding

Islam Makhachev has repeatedly drawn attention to chaotic construction issues plaguing Dagestan, particularly poorly planned residential developments and illegal construction. He reposted content from geography teacher Dmitry Koryukhin, who has worked in Dagestan for six years and was named Teacher of the Year in 2025, showing aerial photographs that illustrate the urban planning disaster in Makhachev's hometown of Makhachkala. Seventeen days prior, during severe flooding in Dagestan, Makhachev had appealed to regional leadership to address construction issues, saying the city "has turned into one chaotic construction site." The post commends Makhachev for using his platform to highlight these serious regional problems affecting his community.
