Mikhail Shatrov (1932-2010) was a Soviet playwright.[1][2] In 1958 he was admitted to the Union of Soviet Writers. Member of the CPSU since 1961. In a series of historical plays, he shook up the genre of Leniniana. (Faina Ranevskaya sarcastically remarked: "Shatrov - this is the Krupskaya of our days".[3])

He died in Moscow at the 79th year of his life from a heart attack in his apartment in the House on the Embankment. He was buried at the Troyekurovskoye Cemetery.
