I also want to tell the biography of one of the famous actresses such as Nadezhda Rumyantseva, who also starred in the film.

Early years. Nadezhda Rumyantseva was born in the Potapovo village (now Gagarinsky District) into a simple Russian family. Her father Vasily Ivanovich Rumyantsev was a war veteran. He worked as a train conductor and later — as a forest guard. Her mother Olga Vsevolodovna Rumyantseva was a housewife. After graduating from school Nadezhda entered theatrical courses at the Moscow Central Children's Theater. Very soon she became one of the leading actresses at this theater, although the courses were dismissed in just a year under a government initiative. With the help of her teacher Olga Pyzhova she enrolled to the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts and later — to VGIK which she finished in 1955. In-between she acted in plays and movies.

Film career.Rumyantseva's first breakthrough happened in 1959 with the comedy The Unamenables directed by Yuri Chulyukin where she was given the leading role, along with her fellow-student Yuri Belov, Alexei Kozhevnikov and Yuri Nikulin. The film turned so successful (10th place at the Soviet box office with 31.83 million viewers) that Chulyukin invited her to act in his second movie — Devchata that was finished in 1961. Her partner was Nikolai Rybnikov. The movie hit the 5th spot with 34.8 million viewers and brought international fame to Nadezhda who was named the best actress at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival in 1962.

Same year she reunited with Belov and Kozhevnikov in the comedy The Queen of Gas Station shot at the Dovzhenko Film Studios. Once again, it turned into one of the box office leaders (5th place with 34.3 million viewers) and remains among the most beloved Soviet comedy films up till these days. Rumyantseva was named Merited Artist of the Russian SFSR later on. She appeared in her last leading role in the 1967 war comedy Tough Nut along with Vitaly Solomin. It was well-received by the public, but criticised by the official press for turning the Great Patriotic War into a primitive parody. Around the same time Rumyantseva married a Soviet diplomat Villi Khshtoyan who worked at the Ministry of International Trade of the USSR. They spent nearly 15 years abroad, which she fully dedicated to her husband and his daughter from the first marriage (she couldn't give birth to her own children). After their return Nadezhda rarely appeared on the big screen. By that time she was more interested in dubbing. She did voice overs for many foreign pictures and TV series, as well as some of the Soviet movies and animated films. She also became the main presenter of the popular children's TV show Alarm Clock. A member of the Film Actors' Theater-Studio since 1955.

Late years.In 1996 two burglars tried to rob Rumyantseva's Moscow apartment. Her husband — a former boxer — managed to stop them, but she was hit on the head by one of the bandits which led to serious damages and regular pains. She was later diagnosed with brain tumor. She died in 2008 and was buried at the Moscow Armenian Cemetery in the Khshtoyan family tomb. She was survived by her husband Villi Khshtoyan and his daughter Christine.

Biography Inna Makarova.

Inna Vladimirovna Makarova (Russian: И́нна Влади́мировна Мака́рова) (born July 28, 1928 in Tayga) is a Soviet Russian actress. She grew up in Novosibirsk. In 1948 she graduated from the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography in Moscow and began to work as an actress at the State Film Actor Theater (Государственный театр киноактёра). In 1949, she was awarded the Stalin Prize for her role as Lyubov Shertsova in Sergei Gerasimov's The Young Guard. In 1985, she was awarded the designation of People's Artist of the USSR. Inna Makarova was married to Sergei Bondarchuk and is the mother of Natalya Bondarchuk.

Plot.

Devchata is a romantic comedy set in an isolated Russian logging camp, c. the late 1950s. A pig-tailed young girl - Tosya (Nadezhda Rumiantseva) - arrives from school with a cooking degree, and joins a group of other women who work in jobs supporting the loggers. Tosya's naivete is reflected in the first exchange we see, where the official who shows her to her quarters seems exasperated when he finds that she has not brought a pillow. Tosya is assigned as a cook for the camp. Once in her dorm-like room, she cheerfully prepares herself a meal of tea and a giant loaf of bread slathered with jam; all of it from her roommates' food stockpile. When the four other girls return after a day at work, they are generally taken by Tosya's youth and good nature. However, one woman is upset that she is eating her food without permission, and a fight ensues. It is in this scene that we first see another characteristic of Tosya: her fierceness. When the dorm-mate makes some rude comments, Tosya throws a boot at her head without hesitation. This trait is also exhibited a short time later, when Tosya enters the dance hall (the girls call it the "club"). At first, no one will dance with her (probably because she is so short), but eventually she begins to dance with another very tall girl who is also passed up by several young men. Meanwhile, two groups of loggers engage in a friendly dispute (one has just lost their position as the most productive in the camp, and their portraits are being taken down from a "wall of honor" by an official, who replaces them with pictures of the rival group). They leaders of the two groups play checkers, and in order to concentrate, Ilya (their leader of the group who has just been honored with their portraits being hung on the wall) calls out for the music to be turned off. A very tall and imposing companion carries out his order. However, Tosya, who is now enjoying her dance, marches over to the phonograph and puts the music back on. Ilya calls for the music to be turned back off, and Tosya, to the amusement of the onlookers, seems prepared to fight this giant in order to keep the music playing.

Impressed by Tosya's tenacity, Ilya approaches her and asks her to dance. After telling him to first throw away his cigarette and take off his hat, she proclaims that she doesn't want to dance with "your type." Following this episode, and stinging from humiliation, Ilya bets with Filya, the leader of the rival group, that within a week he can win Tosya's heart. The winner gets the other's hat. Ilya and his gang quickly make a plan (they will first insult Tosya's cooking to break her down). Despite ill-treatment (the gang dramatically throws Tosya's stew into the snow, proclaiming it to be inedible, and bringing her to tears), Tosya carries some mushroom soup to the men a few days later to their work-site in the forest. The starving men can no longer resist, and Ilya and Tosya begin to show some real affection for one another. It is a pure joy to watch Tosya fall in love with Ilya, and her simple celebrations (victory dances in her pajamas after a particularly enjoyable walk home, bright eyes and smiles, singing), are a perfect evocation of puppy love in a young girl's heart. We also learn that Tosya is an orphan and that Ilya is interested in exploring ways to increase the productivity of the logging operation through new techniques and technologies.

One night, Tosya's nasty dorm-mate reveals to the other girls the bet that Ilya has made, and there is a debate over whether to break the news to Tosya. The other girls want to keep Tosya's faith in men and love alive. When Ilya asks Tosya to a big dance, however, the girls decide that they must tell her the truth. It is a heartbreaking scene, especially when Tosya asks quietly, "And the bet was just for a hat?" Within minutes her despair turns to indignation, and she marches off to the dance. When they reach the dance, after she calls over Filya, she asks him point blank whether there was any bet, and when he sheepishly admits that there was, she grabs Filya's hat and shoves it into Ilya's hands. She then runs out into the night (without a coat) and sobs behind a wood pile as Ilya searches for her and calls out her name. In the weeks that follow, Ilya attempts to convince her that the bet was just a stupid prank, that he is sorry, and that he really does love her. But Tosya will not be easily swayed. She is too hurt to trust, and the rest of the movie has the audience rooting for a reunion, although Tosya seems completely unwilling to forgive. Eventually, though, during a scene in which the entire camp is pitching in to build a newly married couple their own house, Tosya and Ilya find themselves in an attic, each with a box of nails. This simple moment leads to their reconciliation, and we leave them snuggling outside on a log, flirtatiously exploring a first kiss and talking about their future.

Discussion.

The movie is in black and white, and the cinematography emphasizes the crisp atmosphere of a snow-covered forest, and the closeness of life in the camp. In several shots, we see the camp's wooden structures nestled together, as if for warmth; in the same way, the characters sleep together in small rooms warmed by a central hearth. The atmosphere, however, is not suffocating, but rather of coziness protected from the cold. Tosya's character, facial expressions, and physical humor are memorable aspects of the movie, which actually has a very simple plot.
