Nikita was raised by his mother, who herself raised her son in the difficult nineties. She instilled in her son an interest in music, theater and literature.
In 1994, I went to multidisciplinary gymnasium No. 1514 on Krupskaya Street in Moscow for a physics and mathematics class. The boy's mother wanted her son to study natural sciences, which in the future would bring him not only money, but also pleasure.

Recently, the media have been reporting about Nikita’s affair with his partner in the series “Londongrad” Ingrid Olerinskaya. They say that Nikita even introduced Ingrid to his father, Mikhail Efremov. Ingrid herself claims that they simply have “close, friendly relations.”
Nikita Efremov's girls
I watch “Londongrad”, I like Nikita Efremov. I decided to make a short post about him in my spare time.
Nikita is 27 years old. He started acting in films 10 years ago. One of his first works was a role in the TV series “The Most Beautiful”. On the set, he began an affair with his partner Anna Mikhailovskaya
.
From an interview with Mikhailovskaya:
“
In the first part of the film you have love with the hero of Nikita Efremov. Was it difficult to portray feelings? “Mutual sympathy immediately flared up between us.
This was before rehearsals, in the producer’s office. The entire film crew shook their fingers at me, noticing that I was carried away. Nikita is a loving guy; many girls came to him for filming. But at that moment it stuck on me. One day he invited me to a cafe. We arrive, and there the girls are waiting for him. Nikita loves recognition. But at the same time, he never mentioned that he belonged to the famous acting dynasty. Nikita had not communicated with his father Mikhail Efremov before, and every meeting with the famous parent was a holiday for him. Mikhail came to the set. I remember how he once gave his son an expensive suit. Nikita was glowing with happiness, walking around and telling everyone about it. — Did Nikita introduce you to your parents?
-
Only with mom.
She recommended that her son enroll in all acting universities, as I did, but Nikita resisted and said that only the Moscow Art Theater was waiting for him, so he entered there. He came to visit us. He always gave flowers to me and always to my mother. One day I came when my dad and uncle were watching football. Nikita immediately joined their company. Sociable guy. It’s a pity that he didn’t star in the second part of “The Most Beautiful.” Konstantin Raikin, with whom he is studying, did not let him go. I have another partner there - Vanya Zhidkov, according to the script, our heroes will have a child. I was annoyed when Vanya started kissing before the command “Motor!”, and Nikita was forgiven for this. Vanya is a good guy, but we didn’t have mutual feelings. And with Nikita, everything is already in the past. Mom believes that Nikita is not reliable and is not created for a serious relationship.” Then Nikita entered the Moscow Art Theater School and began dating his fellow student Elena Dudina
, who came to conquer Moscow from Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
The young people studied together at the Moscow Art Theater School.
Their classmates say that Dudina immediately understood: Nikita is the most promising on the course and everything must be done to charm him. Many students began to look after Lena, but the girl looked only at Nikita. He was flattered by such attention from one of the first beauties of the course. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not keep the loving Efremov Dudina near her. A year later the couple broke up. “ We separated by mutual consent
, Dudina told reporters.
“But even now we maintain friendly relations
.
Then Nikita began dating another classmate, Anna Chipovskaya
.
Then Alexey Vorobyov
and they ended up with some kind of heartbreaking triangle:
“Alexey met his former passion Anna two years ago during the filming of a video. The girl at that moment was not free and was in a relationship with the son of Mikhail Efremov, Nikita.
Vorobyov was so bewitched by Anya that he persistently sought her favor for 18 months. Ultimately, the beauty succumbed to the artist’s charm, and they began an affair.”
Vorobyov’s direct speech: “ Anya and I lived together for a whole week, met every evening, walked, went to a cafe, chatted... And suddenly she disappeared from my life. Without explaining anything, without telling me a word. That's what was most terrible. I called her, she didn’t answer the phone, I tried to see her, but nothing worked. I began to do some soul-searching - it turned out that this was exactly the kind of attitude I deserved. Because before, he himself did the same with other girls - he simply disappeared without explanation. Now all this has come back to me like a boomerang and hit me so hard on the back of my head that the world around me has changed disgracefully. Then I found out that Anya was then dating someone else, but they were quarreling all the time: they would separate, then they would get back together. Just during another disagreement, I turned up - so cheerful, positive ... "
Then Anna and Nikita finally broke up, she started dating Alexey. And they still had a strong friendship with Nikita.
After Anna, Nikita met with Nina Guseva
, daughter of the famous sports television commentator Viktor Gusev.
Nikita once even told reporters in detail about his relationship with Nina:
“You and Nina have arguments about how to spend the evening, for example?
Nikita:
“No, we sometimes have creative disputes about a film or performance. But disputes do not mean conflicts. Nina is also an actress. We would like to play together in one play. I think it would be an interesting experience."
In general, do your tastes coincide?
Nikita:
“Basically yes. There are disagreements, of course. But this happens as often as, for example, a meteorite falls to the ground. Although... We argue about how to properly cook an omelette.”
Do you have any household responsibilities?
Nikita:
“I'm not at home very often. Sometimes we spend a week filming somewhere or on tour. But when I'm at home, I wash the dishes and take out the trash. I can nail a shelf or change a light bulb. I'm not very good at cooking yet. When I go to visit Nina, she pleases me with all sorts of goodies.”
Nikita, are you a monogamous person by nature? Can you afford to flirt with other girls?
Nikita:
“I can flirt with a classmate. But this is not even flirting, but friendly jokes. No more".
Unlike your father, you are not a Don Juan?
Nikita:
“No, I’m calm, quiet, homely, very exemplary.”
They dated for about three years.
Efremov celebrated his 23rd birthday with a girl whom he introduced to everyone as his future wife Anna.
But three years later he married another girl - actress Yana Gladkikh
.
Yana recently talked about their relationship in an interview:
«My future husband and I studied at different courses at the Moscow Art Theater School. The relationship began after receiving diplomas. Feelings surged so unexpectedly that, feeling mutual sympathy, we instantly got together and got married last year. Our parents accepted our choice with joy and a pure heart. I’ve lived alone since I was 16 and I’m very grateful to my mom and dad that they never tried to influence me and didn’t challenge my decisions. For me personally, it was very important not only to go to the registry office, but also to get married.”
.
Nikita’s classmate Gela Meskhi
:
«My friend Nikita Efremov became so enamored with Georgia that he recently began visiting there often and even got married there with Yana. They got married here in Moscow, and held a beautiful ceremony in Georgia. It turned out unforgettable: newlyweds, church, two priests reading a prayer. One can only dream about this! Nikita was lucky, Yana Gladkikh is a gorgeous actress and a very good person, kind and sympathetic.
— Have you ever been in love with Yana?
- What do you! We are just friends, both very temperamental and could never be together: we would kill each other on the second day.”
However, shortly after the wedding, in one interview Nikita answered the question “ Could you love one person for the rest of your life?
"answered like this:
"Hard to say. First of all, I believe that a person in any case should act in accordance with his convictions. After all, everyone has their own life. What is destined for someone will definitely happen. As they say, everything has its time. If someone is destined to be alone, then so be it. It is difficult to assume anything in advance. Let's see how my life turns out. I’m a fatalist, you know.”
In October, rumors appeared that the young people had broken up. But so far this is unconfirmed information.
Well, a photo for those who want to compare Nikita with his father and grandfather.
