This is the oldest lighthouse in the republic. It was built in 1855. For a century and a half, it has served many ships well. Local old-timers say that there is a huge depression in the sea, not far from Derbent. In inclement weather, ships here are bound to encounter problems. And here the lighthouse comes to the rescue. Aivakh Panakhov and his wife have been working at the lighthouse for 18 years. A lighthouse maker is not a profession, but a way of life. To become a professional, no special education is required. You must love the sea and heights. Partial repairs, cracks on the outer part of the trunk and bricks falling out of the masonry. All the years of work, the lighthouse maker’s family has been watching the gradual destruction of the unique structure. A major overhaul is long overdue. Aivaz more than once turned to the Derbent administration for help. So far I have received nothing in response other than promises.
The southernmost lighthouse in Russia has long been included in the register of architectural monuments. For their work, the team has repeatedly received letters of gratitude and certificates for good work from the Ministry of Defense. The importance of the country's southernmost guide today is difficult to overestimate. Whether this fact will become decisive in the distribution of city funds will become known after some time. In the meantime, workers are maintaining the appearance of the lighthouse on their own. 03/04/2009

Это самый древний в республике маяк. Его построили в 1855 году. За полтора века, он сослужил добрую службу не одному судну. Местные старожилы рассказывают, что в море, недалеко от Дербента, есть огромная впадина. В ненастную погоду корабли здесь непременно сталкиваются с проблемами. И тут на помощь приходит маяк. Айвах Панахов с супругой работают на маяке уже 18 лет. Маячник - не профессия, а образ жизни. Для того чтобы стать профессионалом, специального образования не требуется. Необходимо любить море и высоту. Частичный ремонт, трещины на наружной части ствола и выпадение кирпичей из кладки. Все годы работы семья маячника наблюдает за постепенным разрушением уникального сооружения. Давно назрел капитальный ремонт. Айваз не раз обращался за помощью в администрацию Дербента. Пока кроме обещаний ничего в ответ не получил.
Самый южный маяк России давно вошел в реестр архитектурных памятников. За работу от министерства обороны коллектив неоднократно получал благодарственные письма и грамоты за хорошую работу. Значение самого южного путеводителя страны сегодня трудно переоценить. Станет ли этот факт решающим при распределении средств города, станет известно через некоторое время. А пока внешний вид маяка своими силами поддерживают работники. 04.03.2009
