the Deadly accident, the perpetrator of which was Mikhail Efremov, in court, the actor called a monstrous accident. He agreed to house arrest. Prosecutors, meanwhile, intends to understand why road antics went to the artist with it. Drunk behind the wheel Efremov sat down for the first time. About the problems with alcohol tell and colleagues and the audience.

At the meeting in the hall of the Tagansky court, which brought Mikhail Yefremov, the question was where the famous actor will spend time before the court under house arrest or in prison. The court sent the actor two months under house arrest.

the Information that Ephraim refused to defend just a dozen lawyers, was not confirmed. To the meetings they came just two.

the Prosecution Ephraim filed under article 264 “Infringement of traffic rules in a state of intoxication, entailed death of the person”. Examination already showed that before you get behind the wheel, he fairly drank and probably used drugs.

– How much did you drink? Where the drank?

“I don’t remember — is responsible Yefremov, sitting on the bed. – I don’t want to talk to you!”

This is not the first serious accident involving the actor.

Several years ago, his Mercedes literally rammed the Ford. According to eyewitnesses, Efremov was so drunk I could hardly stand on his feet. For the last two years he has accumulated fines for 81 thousand rubles. Several times the court raised the question of his administrative arrest. But was limited to only fines. Why? It is now investigated by the Prosecutor’s office.

“the Prosecutor’s office will check the fulfillment by the authorized bodies of the Federal legislation on traffic safety in relation to the driver,” promised the official representative of the Prosecutor’s office of Moscow Lyudmila Nefedova.

his problems with alcohol Mikhail Efremov admitted repeatedly. Was Frank enough.

“I Podujevo, do not thump so hard. Because we have to work a lot, and to work in the screwed state in any way, — confessed Mikhail Efremov. — I’m not an alcoholic, I’m a cheerful drunkard.”

Now many people around artist ask the question: where were all those who could or at least tried to stop him?

“the Situation is already so accumulated, that Michael O. had on the car just taboo to impose. All! No, because it’s like that lethal weapon in hands”, — said people’s artist of Russia Vladimir Steklov.

“And who was with him when he let him go like this? They are on a par with him moral, absolutely terrible responsibility for what happened. In such cases, I just very strongly received. Once I had just the car keys out the window to save a man that was not an accident and so on. What we didn’t know that Michael was an alcoholic? He thinks he’s not an alcoholic. How is he not an alcoholic when the situation is all the time like this?! With the theater, so on, so forth. So to justify it it is impossible. You can sympathize” — passionately says honored artist of the RSFSR Natalya Bondarchuk.

At the festival “Kinotavr” Yefremov staged a party after a drunken brawl. And two years ago in Samara, on the stage of the local academic theater barely managed to finish the play.

“I already forgot the text, b***,” said the actor.

artistic Director of the theatre Valery Grishko today acknowledges: too long on the weakness of Ephraim closed his eyes.

“All these promises, pohmelnaya tears of remorse has not acted, because I knew it would happen again. Yesterday it was killed. And most importantly, I want to say the blame should be shared by all who surrounded Michael O., who didn’t stop it,” says the artistic Director of the Samara academic drama theatre named after Maxim Gorky, directed by Valery Grishko.

Many now say, I believe that Yefremov useshave balsa his fame, believing that she will protect him from all problems.

“firstly, he knew that it always goes with it, — said the actor and Director Alexander Shpagin. Because I can imagine how many were minor violations, when it was released. He said: Oh, God, I – Efremov. And that’s all! The cops immediately – give me your autograph. And, as is usually the case. But everything happened too much!”

a year ago, the punishment for drunken crash victims has tightened, now it will not be able to close by agreement of the parties. Mikhail Efremov is now threatened with serious term — from five to 12 years.
