Islam Makhachev addresses Dagestan construction and flooding issues

Islam Makhachev has once again drawn attention to construction problems in Dagestan, particularly highlighting the chaotic building situation in Makhachkala. Seventeen days ago, as flooding ravaged Dagestan, Makhachev appealed to regional leadership to "take on the construction issue," stating that "Makhachkala has turned into one chaotic construction site." Recently, he reposted content from geographer and teacher Dmitry Koryukhin, who has lived in Dagestan for six years, showing aerial photographs of Makhachkala that illustrate what the post describes as an "urban catastrophe." The post contextualizes this within broader Russian construction issues, noting poorly planned residential complexes being built despite stagnant or declining populations. Makhachev is being praised for using his platform to highlight these regional infrastructure and urban planning problems.
