Vladimir Sergeyevich Ivashov, Soviet-born actor based in Russia. He had a film career that spanned over 30 years. He is best known for his role as Pvt. Alyosha Skvortsov in Ballad of a Soldier which he
starred in with Zhanna Prokhorenko in 1959. The film was awarded the Moscow International Film Festival award in 1960. It also won the Lenin Award. The film was kept in the film hall of The Kremlin to be shown to foreign guests. After the Ballad of a Soldier Vladimir Ivashov never played a role tantamount to that of Alyosha in Grigory Chukhrai’s film, but many remember the white officer, who he played in the soviet blockbuster New Adventures of the Elusives. Throughout all his life his wife was the popular Soviet actress Svetlana Svetlichnaya. On February, 16th, 2005 minor planet 12978 discovered in the Crimean astrophysical observatory was named after Vladimir Ivashov.
