New series with unpretentious but touching plot regularly appear on Russian screens. Such films are very popular. Perhaps because their heroes are ordinary people with ordinary problems familiar to every viewer. One such television movie is When the Ledum Blooms. Actors and roles are listed later in the article. The plot is also outlined here.
The film premiered in 2010. The main role was played by the famous actress. On her account a lot of melodramatic heroines. And, perhaps, her best work in the cinema is not her role in the two-part film “When the Ledum Blossoms”. The actors, however, will be named below. Before telling about them, we will tell the plot of the melodrama.

Actors
The film was played by artists, both beginners and famous. Actors of the film “When the Ledum Blooms”: Yaroslav Zhalnin, Dmitry Miller, Ivan Chuvatkin, Alexander Mokhov, Dmitry Maryanov, Margarita Shubina. It is worth telling more about the leading woman.
Elena Lyadova
The star of Leviathan began her acting career with small roles. But the path to fame for her was not painful and long. Lyadova's debut in the movie took place in 2005. She managed to play in fifteen films before she was invited to star in the film “When the Ledum Blossoms”.
Actors are dependent people. And they depend primarily on their roles. So, Elena Lyadova, according to reviews, plays the same type of heroines: strong, tough and cheerful. But one can argue with this opinion, recalling such films with the participation of the actress as “Lyubka”, “Geographer drank the globe”, “Elena” and the same “Leviathan”. The heroines of Lyadova in these paintings have little in common with Anna from the movie “When the Ledum Blossoms”.
Actor Yaroslav Zhalnin
The role of the son of the main character was made by the twelve-year-old Vanya Chuvatkin. Despite his young age, he already had experience in cinema. Ivan played a small role in the popular series "Who is the boss in the house." Then he played a cameo in the film "Kulagin and Partners." Before filming in the film, which is discussed in the article, Vanya Chuvatkin played in two more films. Recently (since 2013) a young actor in films has not been removed.
The matured Sasha was played by Yaroslav Zhalnin. For the actor, the debut film work was the main role in the film "Manga". Then he played in several films. Roles were both main, and minor, and episodic. One of the most striking is the image of Andrei in the film “Karasi”. No less interesting was the image of Sasha in the melodrama "When the rosemary blooms." The actor is actively filming today. The last films with his participation are “The Ecumenical Conspiracy”, “Eternal Date”.
