Residents of a flood-affected village in Dagestan have called for work to be expedited.
Residents of the village of Kadyrotar are still waiting for the restoration of their homes and roads destroyed by the flood in Dagestan. The village is still covered in silt and debris.
As reported by the Caucasian Knot, in the Adilyotar village council (which includes the villages of Adilyotar, Kadyrotar, and Tutlar), approximately 500 houses were damaged by the flood. Residents of these villages lost 400 head of cattle, 360 head of small livestock, and nearly 30,000 poultry. Mandatory payments for lost livestock in Dagestan are not provided, lawyers have stated.
"Caucasian Knot" has prepared a detailed guide to help you understand who is eligible for payments, the amounts provided, the documents required, and what to do if some documents are missing.
A resident of Kadyrotar recorded a video in which he pointed out that three months after the flood, there is no work being done to clear the village of debris and silt. The video was published by the Mash Gor Telegram channel, which has over 45,000 subscribers. By 8:40 a.m. Moscow time, the post had garnered nearly three thousand views.
A local resident reports that commissions are coming and inspecting the area, but no noticeable changes are visible. Some people still can't return home—some are renting, others are staying with relatives. "Today we'll show you – the situation is still very dire. People still haven't gotten rid of the trash because a commission comes every day, this is the fifth time. Basically, you can see it for yourself: no cars can get through, no roads, nothing. This situation has been like this for three months now, so you understand," a local resident says in the video. The administration explains the situation by the scale of the flood. They say work is underway in several affected villages, and in the village itself, garbage collection and land clearing continue, the Telegram channel explains. Floods caused by heavy rains occurred in the North Caucasus in late March and early April and were among the most devastating in recent years. Six people died as a result of the flooding in Dagestan. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the natural disaster, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026". The Caucasian Knot has 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".
