Mom was left alone with two children. She worked a lot, and Sergei and early years was left to his own devices. He began to get into criminal stories. But he was not at all drawn to cinema.

In the Mordovian colony, the producer managed an assembly shop of 300 people, earned good money and owned his own office.
Aizenshpis also faced a third term for “farming” with imported clothing. Yuri spent a year and a half in a pretrial detention center awaiting trial, but perestroika was already in full swing in the country, and they gave up on the “criminal.”

Over time, the actor accumulated an impressive collection of antiques at home, which he began to sell abroad piece by piece.
Kramarov wanted, rather, to simply get rid of the icons than to make money. Over the years, he began to take an interest in his roots: he became interested in Judaism, began visiting a synagogue, and doing yoga. Orthodox icons did not fit into the actor’s new lifestyle, but the desire to “sell” his collection almost cost Kramarov his freedom.
The actor and his partner were arrested and kept in a bullpen for several days. Connections helped the smugglers go free.

ON THIS TOPIC
On August 25, the jury found Kilin guilty of all the acts incriminated against him, noting that he doesn't deserve mercy. The convicted person did not admit guilt and expressed his intention to appeal the verdict in all instances.
As they wrote Days.Ru, according to investigators, on August 30, 2014, the actor met 19-year-old Lisa in one of the Perm cafes, after which he raped her and killed her in the park. The body of an excellent student of the Higher School of Economics was found near the playground. She was struck 12 times on the head with a piece of concrete and strangled. The day after the murder, Kilin came to the cafe where he had been in the evening: he forgot Charger for phone. There the suspect was detained. The materials collected by the Investigative Committee amounted to five volumes.
We managed to find the criminal using recordings from video cameras: they show how Kilin goes out after the girl. There is other evidence pointing to him as the person who committed the crime. During the preliminary investigation, more than 40 witnesses were interviewed, a number of forensic examinations were carried out.
Journalists, who were not allowed into the closed trial, managed to find out the details of the meeting from Lisa’s mother. According to Zoya Gennadievna, the defense tried in every possible way to delay the process. The day before, Kilin's interests were represented by a fifth lawyer. Each lawyer hired by the actor needed time to familiarize himself with the case. There were two breaks in court for a total duration of more than three weeks due to the introduction of new lawyers into the case.
"He himself asked to be tried by a jury. 12 jurors are participating in the trial - this ordinary people with their lives: they have work, business trips, families. They may go on vacation, they may get sick - all this can lead to the dissolution of the entire board. Immediately after the jury was formed, Killin made a statement asking for the dissolution of the formed jury due to bias. As stated by the defense, gender bias. 11 of 12 jurors are women. According to the defendant and his defense attorney, women cannot be objective in a rape case. However, the judge rejected his request; in our country, men and women have equal rights", said Lisa's mother.
According to her, During the trial, Alexander behaved inappropriately and put on a show. “Back on June 30, Kilin was removed from the hall court session for repeated violation of order. He will not participate in meetings until last word the defendant. The judge warned him more than once that it was unacceptable to behave this way in court: defiantly and cynically express his opinion about the events in the courtroom, evaluate the actions of other participants trial. At the hearings in which the jury participated, he still restrained himself. And when were some decisions made? legal issues without a jury, he was putting on a theatrical show. He shouted, made remarks, and there were always some attacks on his part. And he was constantly gesticulating, grimacing and writhing,” Zoya Gennadievna recalled. – It’s like being on a theater stage. Even if you consider yourself innocent, there must be some standards of decency. If he behaves so sober, could he have restrained his emotions on the evening of the murder, when he was drunk? The lack of internal culture is compensated by some kind of enormous arrogance."

Who would have thought?! It is difficult to say about some stars that they could ever have problems with the law. Of course have scandalous celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Martha Stewart, but even besides them, many in the world of stars not only walked on the red carpet, but also took a different, more shameful route from the courtroom in custody. This list may shock you. He proves perfectly: even if you are rich and famous, the law is still above you.
1. Robert Downey Jr.
In the early 1980s, when critics called Downey Jr. one of the most promising young actors, he became addicted to drugs and alcohol, taking over the habit from his famous father. In 1996, the actor was sentenced to three years of probation and compulsory treatment, but a year later, Downey Jr. did not appear for one of the mandatory tests to detect drugs in the body, for which he spent six months in prison. In 1999, the actor again received a sentence - this time a real one, but for exemplary behavior he served only a year out of the three prescribed.
“The best thing about Hollywood, in my opinion, is its short memory. Perhaps no one here now will even remember that I was once in prison,” the actor recalls his past with irony (although, sorry, Rob, we remember). “Actually, it was normal in prison. Except for one security guard who tried to slip me his script about unicorns.”
2. Wesley Snipes
The star of “Blade” and “The Expendables” was released from prison only two years ago: the actor was serving a three-year sentence for tax evasion. Snipes owed the state about $15 million, for which he received the maximum possible sentence under his article.
3. Paris Hilton
It can be argued that Paris Hilton went to prison because of her incorrigible stupidity: in 2007, she went to jail for violating probationary period after a first offense of drunk driving. Paris publicly apologized for this (although hardly anyone cares). Her sentence in a women's correctional facility was 45 days. It's funny that she managed to be late even for her own trial!
4. Christian Slater
Apparently drugs are a pretty common thing among celebrities! In 1997, actor Christian Slater was jailed for 3 months for cocaine use and sexual assault while intoxicated. It happened late at night in Los Angeles. The police immediately arrived at the crime scene - Slater behaved aggressively and even shot. He later admitted that he used not only cocaine, but also alcohol and heroin.
5. Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle Rodriguez is perhaps one of the cutest ex-convicts on this list. She was sentenced to 180 days in jail in Los Angeles, California, for violating her probation after driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident. Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie also spent their days in the prison where she was imprisoned!
6. Danny Trejo
Danny Trejo is primarily known as a brutal and tough actor in films like "Machete." However, before achieving fame, he had to experience life in several California prisons. He was addicted to drugs and often committed crimes in order to get money for a new portion. Apparently, it was in prison that Danny first developed a reputation as a tough guy.
7. Kiefer Sutherland
Kiefer Sutherland was sentenced to 48 days prison term at age 40 on a DUI charge in California. During the investigation, he was sincere and cooperated with law enforcement agencies, so he was allowed to sit in a separate cell. In addition, he helped prepare food for other prisoners and wash their clothes. Sutherland was extremely dejected that all this happened to him, suggesting that he was sincerely repentant after prison.
8. Mark Wahlberg
According to Mark himself, in his youth he had about 25 reports to the police for fighting and drug use, and in 1988, 16-year-old Wahlberg was sentenced to two years for attempted murder: the future star, while under the influence of drugs, robbed a pharmacy , and then attacked two people. “I earned my cage and finally realized: this is not what I wanted at all. I had reached the worst place imaginable, and I didn’t want to go back to my old life,” the actor says in an interview with the Daily Mail. The past did not let Mark go so easily: after his early release from prison (he served 45 days), Wahlberg found himself involved in several more fights.
9. Will Smith
This story happened back in 1989 in hometown Willa in Philadelphia. He then quarreled with record company promoter Charles Alston and asked his bodyguard to deal with the enemy. As a result, Alston ended up in the hospital with a broken bone near his left eye, and Smith was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy. However, the case never came to court. Will spent one night in a cell at the police station, and that was the end of it.
10. Matthew McConaughey
In October 1999, Matthew McConaughey's neighbor called the police and complained that the actor was playing music too loudly and was not responding to requests to turn down the volume. Arriving law enforcement officers found a naked McConaughey dancing and playing the drums. He was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and drug use. They were subsequently removed and the actor got away with only a $50 fine for violating silence.
11. Hugh Grant
In June 1995, Hollywood police found famous actor in the car of transvestite prostitute Divine Brown, who performed oral sex on him. Grant was arrested for indecent exposure. The actor's repentance helped him mitigate his sentence. As a result, the court sentenced him to a fine and two years of probation.
12. Mel Gibson
The famous Hollywood actor's problems with the law began in 2006, when he was detained for drunk driving. Then no serious punishment followed. However, already in 2011, his ex-girlfriend and their mother common child accused Gibson of beating. A trial was held at which the actor was sentenced to three years of suspended imprisonment. But in addition, they were required to attend a psychiatrist and lectures on the topic of domestic violence.
13. Keanu Reeves
The actor, who appears to be a model of prudence, was in fact arrested in Los Angeles in May 1993. The reason for the arrest was driving while intoxicated. He admitted his guilt and promised to improve. This is partly why he managed to avoid severe punishment, getting off with only a fine. However, what happened became a lifelong lesson for the actor and he never drove drunk again.
14. Lindsay Lohan
The first time Lindsay Lohan was in prison was in 2007. She pleaded guilty to cocaine use and drunk driving. The judge sentenced the actress to one day in prison and 10 days public works. Just three months later, Lindsey was back in jail, this time spending 84 minutes.
In July 2010, the actress was again sentenced to 3 months in prison for violating the terms of her probation, but was released after 14 days. On November 2, 2011, the Los Angeles District Court again sent Lindsay Lohan to prison for a month for violating the terms of her probation.
15. Shia LaBeouf
Many of us may know LaBeouf as the star of Rockin' with the Stevens, but we shouldn't formulate an idea of the actor based on the roles he played as simpletons. IN early years LaBeouf started not only his actor career, but also his problems with the law. At the age of 9, he stole a pair of shoes from a store and was detained for several hours. At age 11, he was again detained for 6 hours - this time for stealing a Game Boy. And at 20, he spent two nights in jail for trying to stab his neighbor. Rich biography!
