From wikipedia:

"Dagestan has been a scene of low-level Islamic insurgency, occasional outbreaks of separatism, ethnic tensions and terrorism since the 1990s. According to International Crisis Group, the militant Islamist organization Shariat Jamaat is responsible for much of the violence.[13] Much of the tension is rooted in an internal Islamic conflict between traditional Sufi groups advocating secular government and more recently introduced Salafist teachings preaching the implementation of Sharia law in Dagestan."

Sounds lovely.

Thats why all their players live in moscow

Presumably they still have to spend some time in Machachkala. Although not much more than other players in the league who have to visit there for away games I guess. Anyway, my point was that it just seems a peculiar place to try and put together a multi-billion pound football club.
