A complaint from a disabled person from Dagestan attracted Bastrykin's attention.

A Khasavyurt resident complained to Alexander Bastrykin about officials' inaction after her requests to make the road near her home wheelchair accessible. The Investigative Committee reported on its investigation of the complaint.

A wheelchair-bound resident of Dagestan contacted the Investigative Committee's information center with a complaint about the violation of her rights to an accessible environment, the agency reported on its VKontakte page.

The woman explained that she lives in the village of Lesnye Polyany, and the road on 11th Street, where her home is located, is unpaved.

Appeals to various authorities were unsuccessful.

"During precipitation, the road surface washes away, leaving numerous potholes and ruts. As a result, the woman cannot freely leave her property to reach social facilities. Vehicle access is also impeded. Appeals to various authorities were unsuccessful," the publication stated.

The republican office of the Investigative Committee of Russia has launched an investigation. "The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Ivanovich Bastrykin, instructed the acting head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Dagestan, Alexander Vladimirovich Suprun, to report on the progress and results of the procedural investigation," the publication notes.

According to Yandex Maps, the village of Lesnye Polyany is located within the city limits of Khasavyurt. The village has fifteen streets, numbered from 1 to 15.

As of 12:05 Moscow time, the website of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Dagestan has not published any information on the progress of the investigation.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that in April 2022, the reconstruction of Korkmasov Street in Makhachkala drew criticism from activists. They pointed out that the reconstruction failed to take into account the needs of wheelchair users. The court upheld a lawsuit filed by activists demanding that city authorities make the sidewalk ramps on Korkmasova Street wheelchair-accessible. City authorities are challenging three relevant court decisions, while Korkmasova Street remains inaccessible to wheelchair users, activists reported in June 2023.

The entrances to many government agencies in Makhachkala are not equipped with ramps, which violates the rights of people with disabilities. Human rights activists have to go to court to have ramps installed, but judges deny about 30% of their complaints, activists explained to the "Caucasian Knot" in August 2021.

In September 2021, the court upheld the claim of Sabrina Aliyeva, head of the Accessible Environment Monitor project, and ordered the administration of Makhachkala's Leninsky District to install a ramp at the entrance to the administration building. Authorities installed and then improved the ramp at the building's entrance, but required the plaintiffs to pay the costs of having the ramp examined.
