When in the summer of 2020 it became known that Mikhail Efremov was the culprit in an accident in which a person died, many doubted that he would be brought to justice. It was suggested that the actor would be able, if not to avoid punishment, then to serve it in privileged conditions, far from real places of confinement. But shortly before the onset of 2021, the people's artist arrived at an ordinary colony in the Belgorod region, where he will spend the next few years.
No choice
Despite the long debate about whether Mikhail Efremov will be punished, as required by the law, or whether they will be able to alleviate his fate as much as possible, the court sentenced him to a rather impressive term. It only remained to wait for where exactly Mikhail Olegovich would go to serve his sentence.
After the trial, he himself expressed a desire to remain in the economic unit of the pre-trial detention center in Moscow, and it seems that certain agreements had already been reached so that the actor remained in the capital. But the excessive noise around the personality of Efremov led to the fact that the leadership of the Moscow SIZO did not consider the option of serving the sentence in the economic brigade.
Numerous human rights activists were constantly eager to check the conditions in which the people's artist is being held. And then high-profile articles appeared on the Internet about the special conditions created for Efremov, food for him from the restaurant, bottles of alcohol. There were also those in which it was argued that those serving sentences in the same economic brigade refused to accept the actor, not wanting to work with him.
In fact, only one person was dissatisfied with the upcoming neighborhood, who said that there was no need to expect any benefit from the actor. Although, while serving his sentence in Moscow, Mikhail Efremov could bring a new stream to amateur performances, which are popular among prisoners.
Unfortunately or fortunately, as a result, the Federal Penitentiary Service decided to transfer Mikhail Efremov to a colony in the Belgorod region, reasoning quite reasonably: so close attention of numerous fans, journalists and members of the public will not be riveted to him. At the end of November, the actor was quarantined in the Belgorod SIZO, and after that he was transferred to correctional colony No. 4 in the city of Alekseevka, Belgorod Region.
"Star" colony
In the media, the colony received the unofficial title of "star", since football players Alexander Kokorin and Pavel Mamaev were already serving their sentences for hooliganism there. Naturally, journalists visited this colony, and therefore there is a lot of information about it. Compared to many other correctional institutions, the conditions in IK-4 are considered to be quite bearable.
Mikhail Efremov, having arrived at the place, was able to quickly adapt to the new living conditions. He ended up in Detachment 4, lives in a room where, besides him, there are about 30 other people. The actor was able to establish normal relations with his neighbors and prove himself on the good side before the authorities. He does not require any special conditions, complies with all requirements, has adapted to the daily routine and the rules of residence. Almost everyone calls him "Uncle Misha" and treats him with respect.
Mikhail Olegovich does not have any conflicts, he, as friends say, is satisfied with both food and living conditions. The only inconvenience he has is the need to get up early. But over time, he will be able to wean himself from his bohemian nightlife.
In addition, Mikhail Efremov, like all the other prisoners, is obliged to work, and therefore he had to master a new profession for himself - a seamstress-minder. Even when the actor got a little sick, he preferred, after a couple of days of rest, to go back to work, although he could have stayed on sick leave longer. According to Mikhail Efremov, days go by faster at work, and alone time drags on endlessly.
True, the actor's dreams are still associated with the theater. Realizing that he will not have to spend a year or two in the colony, Mikhail Olegovich hopes over time to organize an amateur theater and take the place of the head of the club, taking into account the fact that this position should be vacated in the spring.
Visits to the colony are prohibited due to restrictive measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Mikhail Efremov, like other prisoners of IK-4, has the opportunity to call his family and correspond with them by e-mail every day. The actor calls his wife Sophia almost daily, and he often corresponds with his son via the e-mail system to which the colony is connected.
The content of Mikhail Efremov's letters changed a lot after the verdict was passed. If earlier he, for the most part, talked about himself and his difficulties, now he is more often interested in the affairs of friends and relatives. Colleagues, friends, relatives and just fans send a lot of parcels to Mikhail Olegovich, however, some of them do not reach the actor due to the limitation of their number, which is valid for everyone, without exception.
But the people's artist has the opportunity to communicate with relatives via video link. For prisoners in IK-4, this is still the only option to see loved ones, and therefore many use a paid service, communicating with families at 7 rubles per minute.
Not so long ago, Mikhail Efremov was again transported to Moscow for additional testimony. But after completing all the procedures, he will again have to return to the colony.
For a long time, social networks and the media have discussed the accident, the culprit of which was Mikhail Efremov, who was in a state of alcohol and drug intoxication. As a result of the accident, a person died, and friends, colleagues, fans and just acquaintances of the actor did not hesitate to express their attitude to Mikhail Efremov in general and to this situation in particular.
