"Purposeful Purpose": actor Mikhail Efremov Russian Court agreed to be released for UDZ

With the reservation - in the case of dismissal, the actor should be banned from driving for three years. The fact that Efremov asks for the UDZ was known at the end of February 2025. In the meeting of the Oleksiyivsky District Court, Efremov participated in the video communication. The actor promised to quit drinking and never go behind the wheel, stated that he was aware of guilt and admitted that he was missing the profession and wanted to benefit society. "My main enemy is alcohol.

And I exclude it from my life," the actor said, adding that he needs treatment because of his lung problems that his lawyer confirmed. We will remind, Mikhail Efremov in June 2020, driving a car while intoxicated, arranged an accident in the center of Moscow, which resulted in the van's driver Sergey Zakharov. In September 2020, the court sentenced Efremov to eight years in prison in the general regime colony. On the appeal, the Moscow Court has reduced a term of seven and a half years.

The colony administration has positively described the actor, reporting that he was actively engaged in cultural and mass activities. At the same time, at the court session, information about Efremov's misconduct in the colony was also announced: he found a smartphone from which he called freedom (for this Efremov was sent to a penal detention center for five days). In addition, Efremov left a workplace to drink tea.

In January 2023, Efremov filed a request for replacement of the prison period for compulsory work, but later asked the court to terminate the proceedings. In the spring of 2024 it was reported that the administration of the Belgorod colony, where Efremov, supported his sentence, supported his request for parole. However, then the UDZ documents were not received. We will remind, Focus wrote about the case of Mikhail Efremov and the court, which eventually turned into a show.
