Earlier, lawyer Efremova reported that the actor calling Ukrainian journalists asked about the political motivation of the criminal case, as the fatal accident happened shortly before voting on the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. In response to Yefremov said that “neither [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, nor anyone else” didn’t ask him to sit behind the wheel of a car.
“He said to me: “What opposition? I’m an actor, I’m a clown. Tell me what you write, that’s what I told””, — quotes the words of Pashayev owned by Grigory Berezkin RBC. Yefremov stressed that has nothing against Putin.
