It is located on the western shore of the [[Caspian Sea]] and is home to the [[Makhachkala Grand Mosque]], one of Russia’s largest. As of the [[Russian Census (2010)|2010 Census]], the city had a population of 572,076, making it the largest in the [[North Caucasus Federal District]].<ref name="2010Census">{{ru-pop-ref|2010Census}}</ref> The city has an ethnic plurality, with the [[Avars (Caucasian)|Avars]] and [[Laks (Dagestan)|Laks]] as the largest groups. | + | '''Kalleh Bast''' ({{lang-fa|كله بست}}, also [[Romanize]]d as '''Kaleh Bast''')<ref>{{GEOnet3|44824}}</ref> is a city in and the capital of [[Rudbast District]], on the [[Caspian Sea]], in [[Mazandaran Province]] of northern [[Iran]]. |
| | | | |
| − | Founded as a fortress of the [[Russian Empire]] in 1844 and given city status thirteen years later, the city bore the name of the Russian Tsar [[Peter the Great]] until 1921. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Makhachkala has been affected by Islamist insurgents as spillover from the [[Second Chechen War]] when militants invaded Dagestan leading to a renewed conflict between the Russian Federation and militants in the North Caucasus region.
| + | At the 2006 census, its population was 3,543, in 965 families.<ref>{{IranCensus2006|02}}</ref> |

| − | | + | |
| − | Makhachkala's historic predecessor was the town of [[Tarki]], now a nearby suburb, whose history goes back to the 15th century and possibly much earlier. The modern city of Makhachkala was founded in 1844 as a fortress; town status was granted in 1857. The original Russian name of the city was '''Petrovskoye''' ({{lang|ru|Петро́вское}})—after the Russian [[Tsar]] [[Peter I of Russia|Peter the Great]] who visited the region in 1722 during his [[Persian campaign, 1722-1723|Persian Campaign]]. However, among the locals it was known as '''Anzhi-Qala''', ''The Pearl Fortress'' (''Qala'' means fortress, while ''Anzhi'' means pearl in [[Kumyk language|Kumyk]]). After gaining city status, the Petrovskoye fortress was renamed '''Petrovsk-Port''' ({{lang|ru|Петро́вск-Порт}}) in 1857, sometimes simply '''Petrovsk'''.<ref name="russia.rin.ru"/> In 1894, a railway line linked the city to [[Vladikavkaz]] (in present-day [[North Ossetia-Alania]]) and [[Baku]] (in present-day [[Azerbaijan]]), yet a report from 1904 detailed the spread of [[malaria]] and unsuitable drinking water in the city.<ref name="a-u-l.narod.ru">http://a-u-l.narod.ru/Markovin-V-I_Dorogami_i_tropami_Dagestana.html#glava02</ref>

In March they were joined by [[No. 266 Squadron RAF|No. 266 Squadron]] and both squadrons were involved in bombing operations against Bolshevik forces in [[Astrakhan]] and elsewhere. In August 1919 both squadrons were withdrawn from Petrovsk.<ref>{{cite book |title=RAF Operations 1918-1938 |last=Bowyer |first=Chaz |year=1988 |publisher=William Kimber |location=London |isbn=0-7183-0671-6 |pages=40, 41 }}</ref> The city was invaded by the [[Red Army]] in Spring 1920.<ref name="a-u-l.narod.ru"/>

| − | | + | |
| − | As part of the Soviet revolution, place names relating to monarchy or religion were changed, and thus on 14 May 1921, Petrovsk was renamed Makhachkala, after Dagestani revolutionary [[:ru:Дахадаев, Магомед-Али|Magomed-Ali 'Makhach' Dakhadaev]].

But even a short visit revealed acute problems, including dirty streets, dilapidated buildings, inadequate utilities, hectic construction, lack of planning and poorly organised public transport".<ref>[http://www.crisisgroup.org/~/media/Files/europe/caucasus/226-the-north-caucasus-the-challenges-of-integration-iii-governance-elections-rule-of-law.pdf The North Caucasus: The Challenges of Integration (III), Governance, Elections, Rule of Law, p. 23]</ref>

| − | ==Climate==
| + | |
| − | Makhachkala has a [[semi-arid climate#Cold semi-arid climates|cool semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]]: ''BSk'') with warm to hot, dry summers and cold, dry winters. The strong [[rain shadow]] of the Caucasus and the ability of the [[Siberian High]] to freely move westwards from its source in the Tibetan and Mongolian plateaux makes the climate quite dry although frequently dull throughout the winter, which is owing to the relatively low latitude and nearness to the Caspian Sea nonetheless very mild by Russian standards. Summers are sunnier but also dry as the region is exposed to steep descending vertical velocity from the Indian monsoon, and the greatest rainfall occurs in the autumn season from September to November. October 1987 with {{convert|245|mm|in|2|disp=or}} has been the wettest month, whilst no precipitation occurred in February 1958, October 1974 and April 1986.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The coldest month since records began in 1882 has been February 1929 with a mean monthly temperature of {{convert|−9.5|C|F|1|disp=or}}, whilst the hottest have been July 2010 and August 2014 with means of {{convert|27.1|C|F|1|disp=or}} each, although 31 July 2011 and 4 August 1998 are the equal hottest days, reaching {{convert|38.7|C|F|disp=or}}. The coldest night was on February 9, 2012, when the mercury fell to {{convert|−26.9|C|F|disp=or}}, beating the previous record of {{convert|−26.5|C|F|disp=or}} from December 28, 1888.
