As a reminder, floods caused by torrential rains have been ongoing in the North Caucasus since the end of March, and have become some of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the natural disaster, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".
The Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences linked the regular flooding in Dagestan to a combination of natural processes and anthropogenic impacts, which exacerbate the scale of natural disasters and increase the risks for people. In particular, development on river floodplains, deforestation, and disregard for water protection zones "literally multiply the consequences" of the flood, which under other conditions could have been relatively calm, noted Doctor of Geographical Sciences Alexey Gunya.
Dagestani analysts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" also named ill-considered development, natural factors, and the deplorable state of hydraulic structures among the causes of the devastating flood. At the same time, they unanimously considered the volunteers' significant contribution to the flood relief efforts.
In particular, the flood caught residents of the Khasavyurt district by surprise, and they were forced to hastily evacuate, abandoning their belongings, villagers told the "Caucasian Knot." According to them, in the first hours, it was mostly fellow villagers who helped each other, and administration representatives arrived the following day. Residents of the Adillotarsky village council lost 400 head of cattle, 360 head of small cattle, and nearly 30,000 poultry as a result of the flood.
The Caucasian Knot compiled materials about flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
