The film “I Ask You to Blame Klava K. for My Death,” which resonated deeply with audiences in the USSR, brought fame to its young actors, but their lives took unexpected and often tragic turns. The movie, directed by Nikolai Lebedev and Ernest Yasan, told the story of first love and the challenges faced by schoolchildren.

Nadezhda Gorshkova, who played Klava Klimkova, initially pursued a practical profession before returning to acting and eventually moving to the United States after marrying an American. She later returned to Russia, became a producer, and is now involved in supporting new film projects.

Olga Ozheretskovskaya, who portrayed Klava as a child, continued acting in several films before pursuing a career in biology. She tragically passed away at the young age of 31 due to illness.

Vladimir Shevelkov, who played Seryozha Lavrov, gained immense popularity after the film and subsequent roles, but he grew tired of fame and transitioned to directing and producing television series. He deliberately gave up popularity and after many fans in his youth, he found happiness with his wife Irina, raising a family and finding fulfillment behind the camera.

Maxim Yasan, the son of director Ernest Yasan, played Seryozha in childhood. Sadly, he struggled with drug addiction and passed away at a young age.

Lyubov Polishchuk, who played Vera Sergeevna, had a successful career in theater and film, becoming known for her charisma and unique style. Despite continuing to work while seriously ill, she ultimately succumbed to sarcoma.
