Oleg Efremov Actor and director Oleg Efremov left behind not only a rich creative heritage. Oleg Nikolaevich was the father of two children, he had nine grandchildren. It would seem that being related to a famous person is a good “start-up capital” in life. On October 1, Efremov turns 104 years old.
“I started drinking”
Anastasia Olegovna Efremova is 67. The famous actor and director never officially married her mother, screenwriter and writer Irina Mazuruk. The lovers did not differ in swan-like fidelity to each other.
But Oleg Nikolaevich never lost contact with his daughter. Anastasia’s relationship with her mother was difficult. In addition, Mazuruk died very early from cancer – she was not even 50 years old.
In her youth, Efremova tried her hand at the film set – in the film “The Days of Surgeon Mishkin.” But at GITIS I decided to study as a theater critic. And then she got married. She gave birth to three children – Oleg, Olga and Vikenty. “Okay, you will be the keeper of the hearth, like my mother,” Oleg Nikolaevich waved his hand.
But Anastasia’s marriage broke up. “I never had an understanding of a complete family,” she sighs. In addition, one of her sons, Oleg, named after his great grandfather, died under the wheels of an electric train in 2003. He was just preparing to take exams for the acting department of VGIK. Oleg was only 21 years old.
“I don’t remember what happened then for three years. “I started drinking,” admitted Efremova. She made it out. She found something to do as an editor and critic in a magazine, as well as director of the Post-Efremov Space theater festival.
As Anastasia Olegovna says, her second son, Vikenty, has nothing to do with theater or cinema. But the daughter, 36-year-old Olga, graduated from “Pike”, served in the theater. Vakhtangov. She married an Italian and lived in a foreign land for some time. Divorced and returned to her homeland. From time to time he plays small roles in films.
“I’m not ashamed, this is part of my journey”
Today, perhaps, only the lazy do not know how alcohol ruined the life of Oleg Efremov’s son Mikhail. A talented actor and director, born in a marriage with artist Alla Pokrovskaya, caused a fatal accident in the center of Moscow three years ago while intoxicated. And he is serving his sentence in places not so remote.
Mikhail Olegovich is now 59. He has married five times. Mikhail has six children. The truly successful one among them is Nikita Efremov, born in a relationship with literary editor Asya Vorobyova.

Today Nikita has no end to offers from film directors. Currently, six films with the actor’s participation are in the works. In three of them Nikita plays leading roles.
But there were other times in his life. In the interview, the artist does not hide:
“It’s a serious problem, especially in our country. Drug addicts or alcoholics are humiliated, they are told: “You can’t pull yourself together, you’re a rag!” And he really can’t pull himself together. Nobody knows how he tried to stop it all.”
With the help of specialists, Nikita managed to cope with the problem. He now says about the past: “I’m not ashamed, it’s part of my journey.”
A great misfortune recently befell the 35-year-old son of Mikhail Efremov, Nikolai, who was born to the famous actress Evgenia Dobrovolskaya. Nikolay is a graduate of GITIS. He played in 20 films, but cannot boast of big roles.

Nikolai fell out of his apartment on the third floor. He was under a ventilator and underwent several operations. Fortunately, he survived and left the hospital on crutches with the expectation of further, outpatient, treatment.

“Misha and Zhenya fought constantly, and then broke up. I think that Kolenka had a difficult childhood. I heard that he drinks,” actress Tatyana Bronzova shared with reporters.
“I talk about myself in the masculine gender”
It’s hard to say whether Mikhail Olegovich’s daughter Anna-Maria is simply attracting attention or it’s really much deeper. Actress Ksenia Kachalina gave birth to a girl 23 years ago. Today it is known that Ksenia Mikhailovna has long been far from a healthy lifestyle. Anna-Maria once, among other things, complained about assault.

Having become a girl, Anna-Maria started talking about not accepting herself as a woman. “I talk about myself in the masculine gender. And you will have to live with the awareness of this. I can’t play enough,” she publicly stated.

Anna-Maria studied to be a philologist, but then took a non-programming course. Many believe that over time she will change her mind about her identity. That the girl is just lonely, especially after her father went to prison.
