Director Mikhalkov called the man thanks to whom Efremov has a "new life"

At a meeting of the Cultural Council, director Nikita Mikhalkov named the person thanks to whom actor Mikhail Efremov, who was released on parole, "found a new life." Details are provided on the Kremlin's official website.

Nikita Sergeyevich is sure that this happened because of the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, for which Mikhalkov thanked the head of state.

"It is thanks to you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, that Misha Efremov has found a new life on the stage today," the director is sure.

Mikhail Olegovich has also already returned to the stage — in Moscow hosted a performance with his participation, tickets for which were sold out in the shortest possible time.

EADaily previously reported that actress Tatyana Vasilyeva was hit by a car, and the driver fled the scene.
