What Okhlobystin said
In a conversation with Boris Korchevnikov, Okhlobystin noted that he has not seen Efremov since his return and has not reached out first.

Reasons for Distance
Okhlobystin expressed confidence that the period of returning to normal life after incarceration can be psychologically challenging. For this reason, he tries to show tact and respect for his friend's personal space.

"As long as he doesn’t initiate a meeting with me, I won’t dare to disturb him in any way. This means that he is having a hard time… He is my friend. I respect and love him infinitely as a person, but I won’t dare to violate his personal space. I just want him to be happy. And if he is happy not communicating with me, then let it be so," Okhlobystin stated.
