The actor of the film “The Summer of Private Grandpa” in Soviet times won hearts with one smile. He literally changed beyond recognition. Chigarev lives in the village of Nikitskaya Sloboda, which is located 145 kilometers from Moscow.

The actor didn’t even have a house left: he lives in a 10 square meter wooden outbuilding. The villagers try to support the artist, but he spends his entire pension on alcohol and is not going to stop drinking.

“I’ll think a little and call you,” replied Mikhail Mikhailovich to the offer to go to a clinic for the treatment of alcoholism. Chigarev started drinking after the tragic death of his only daughter: Natalya died at the age of 20.

After that, the actor from Nikita Michalkova’s films “Slave of Love” and “At Home Between Strangers, Stranger Among Our Own” changed dramatically. He sought solace in alcohol and spent all his money betting on horse races. he was forced to sell a house in the village of Nikitskaya Sloboda.

The artist starred in the series “Ranetki”, where he played the grandfather of the main character. The role helped him pay off his debts, but he never overcame his craving for alcohol. Director of the Guild of Actors Valeria Gushchina told NTV correspondents that it was not possible to cure Chigarev without his desire, but he spends material resources on alcohol, although he is regularly financially supported.
