As Pashayev noted, Efremov handed him an appeal in which he touched on his political views. He decided on this step due to the fact that journalists from Ukraine are trying to connect the situation with road accidents with politics.
“Some of them consider the criminal case to be political and cover this tragedy in this way ... Mikhail replied that there was no political motive in his case. Neither Putin nor anyone else asked to drive behind that night, ”he said.
The lawyer also added that the actor asked to publicize that he "is not related to the opposition."
“Where am I and where is the politics? I have no relation to the opposition, I have no relation to politics. I have nothing against Putin’s personality, ”the artist said, adding that the Russian president made a great contribution to culture.
As the publication indicates, commenting on his poems in the project “Citizen Poet,” Efremov indicated that he was “an artist, a clown, and not an oppositionist. This is my job".
The actor in his poems in the framework of this project has repeatedly criticized the authorities.
On the evening of June 8, a car driven by Efremov drove into the oncoming lane on Smolenskaya Square in the center of Moscow and crashed into a van.
As a result of the incident, the driver of the van Sergey Zakharov died in the hospital. An examination established that Efremov was drunk.
