A landslide destroyed a farm in Dagestan's Kulinsky District.
About half the animals died on a farm in the village of Kuli due to a landslide, leaving residents without clothes, according to social media reports. Authorities confirmed damage to the farm.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," damage to agricultural enterprises from flooding in Dagestan by April 19 exceeded 600 million rubles. More than 220 agricultural enterprises in Dagestan have filed claims for flood compensation.
The flood caught residents of the Khasavyurt district by surprise, and people were forced to hastily evacuate, leaving their belongings behind, villagers told the "Caucasian Knot." According to them, in the first hours, it was mostly fellow villagers who helped each other, and representatives of the administration showed up the next day. Residents of the Adilyotarsky village council lost 400 head of cattle, 360 head of small cattle, and nearly 30,000 poultry as a result of the flood.
A landslide occurred in the village of Kuli in the Kulinsky district. Almost nothing remained of the farm: it was completely swept underground. Some of the livestock were saved, but the other half perished under the rubble.
People were left without the most basic necessities; many didn't even have clothing. Money and property were also buried underground. There is currently a severe shortage of facilities to house the surviving livestock; there are no adequate facilities to herd and store them, reports the Telegram channel "Tut Dagestan."
The video attached to the publication shows a completely destroyed building and large cracks in the ground.
The authorities also confirmed the destruction of the farm. Aslanbag Aliyev, Head of the Department of Agriculture and Environmental Protection for the Kulinsky Municipal District Administration, and Rustam Ramazanov, the department's chief specialist, traveled to the village of Kuli to document the damage to the Artur Abdulkadyrovich Gaziyev peasant farm.
"During the inspection, it was determined that the facts correspond to the provided photo reports and documents. All documents and photo reports will be submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Dagestan for compensation," the Kulinsky District Administration said in a statement today on its Telegram channel.
More than 200,000 applications for flood compensation have been received.
As a reminder, by April 25, authorities had received more than 223,000 applications for assistance from affected residents of Dagestan. However, only 5,738 people received payments—about 2.57% of applicants.
"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 paperwork is missing.
Floods caused by torrential rains began in the North Caucasus in late March and were among the most devastating in recent years. Six residents of Dagestan, including three minors, died as a result of the flooding. Additionally, on April 13, a 19-year-old volunteer died in the hospital after suffering a severe head injury while helping residents of the Derbent district.
Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the disaster, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".
Materials The Caucasian Knot compiled information about flooding in the North Caucasus Federal District republics in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
