Born on April 3, 1932 in Moscow. Father - Marshak Filipp Semenovich (1900-1937), engineer. Mother - Marshak Cecilia Alexandrovna (1904 born), taught german in high School. Spouse - Julia Vladimirovna. Daughter: Natalia (1959 Born.) And Alexandra (2000 born.).

Children's I. youth years Famous playwright Mikhaila Shatrov Painted into tragic tones. Native sister His father was a wife of a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b) A.I. Rykov. In 1937 she was arrested. The same fate was prepared by the Father Mikhaila, Philip Semenovich. He was shot, about which closest learned only after rehabilitation in 1956.

In 1940. Michael went to school. When the Great Patriotic War began, the family was evacuated to Samarkand, where he continued his studies before returning to Moscow in 1944. At school Michael Shatrov was an activist, secretary komsomol organization, Deputy editor of the handwriting magazine "Our Word", for whom the articles wrote to political topics.

In 1949, they arrested mom MikhailaAnd he remained without livelihood. Wishing to help him, school teachers gathered a group of young students who studied poorly, and offered to do with them, to do lessons. Parents guys brought bread, potatoes ... In 1950, hoping on a date with the mother, which was serving the term in the Krasnoyarsk Territory (it was amnestied in 1954), Michael I left for relatives to Tyumen, where he studied for some time in high school. In a school drama, he set "two captains" V. Cavery. In 1951, on return to Moscow, graduated from a decade with silver Medal And entered the Mountain Institute. The choice of the institute was dictated by the fact that they provided students with uniforms and had the possibility of vital for Mikhaila additional earnings.

First literary works Mikhaila Shatrov - Stories, scenarios - were published in 1952 in the "Mountain Shorey" newspaper (in Altai M. Shatrov Practice and worked as a driller to have money on traveling to the mother). Serious shocks of those years: "Doctors Case", death I.V. Stalin and the presence at his funeral - forever remained in the memory of the playwright and reflected in his subsequent work.

In 1954, still learning at the Institute, Michael Shatrov Posted by play out school Life - "Clean hands"In which the negative hero was the secretary of the Komsomol organization (the playwright will return to the genre of school comedy, in 1972, when, together with A. Khmelik, I will write the play" Rain Lily from Bucket "). In the next play Mikhaila Shatrov - "Place in Life" (1956), as in Dramaturgia A. Volodina and V. Rosova, the youth issues were developed. Main questionwho rose in it - where to attach his strength, - decided in the spirit of time: the person's place is determined not his social Regulations, and spiritual vocation, the ability to reveal your human potential. The youth theme of the playwright leaves and subsequently: it is reflected in his play "Modern Guys" (1963) and "Student Comedy" Horse Przhevalsky (1972) on the movement of construction workers who received positive reviews of serious criticism (K. Shcherbakov and A. Smelyansky ). Horse Przhevalsky walked in theaters as well as "My love in the third year."

Exposing a cult of personality I.V. Stalin supported in M. Shatrov faith in the possibility of restoring the "Lenin norms of party life", and in 1957 he filed a statement to the party. However, the reception was postponed for almost three years, as its some plays of those years (in particular, "Gleb Kosmachev") were perceived by the party boss as revisionist. Already then the young playwright addresses the topic of the revolution. This undertaking was supported by his mentors A. Arbuzov, A. Salinsky, A. Stein, heads of the seminar of young playwrights, in which M. Shatrov. His first play dedicated to this topic, "the name of the revolution" plotly adjacent to previous works and was designed for a teenage audience (statement of Moscow Tyuza). It was already present that the ideological rod of his subsequent drama: loyalty to the ideas of revolution, honesty and nobility of people who participated in it and oblivion, pulling all this to the subsequent generations.

A serious application for a more in-depth development of this idea implemented on modern material, I became a play "If each of us ..." (the initial name "Communists"), intended for the Eugene Theater. Vakhtangov. The chief hero, the student, the secretary of the Komsomol organization, who speaks against the cult of personality, was opposed by the teacher of Marxism, holding for old dogmas. The text of the play was already gained in the magazine "Young Communist", but censorship did not allow her release. The same fate suffered Piese M. Shatrov "Continued" (1959), which called "Gleb Kosmachv" was put on the scene of the M. Yermolova Theater and is shortly prohibited. In this play, the action of which is developing on the construction of Siberian railway (M. Shatrov I visited Siberia in 1959 and published a number of essays about construction sites in the workpaper "Labor"), the principle of historical allusion was used: the spectator should have been read as a model of a socio-political device in the Stalinist era. After some time, the play still returned to the scene and entered the repertoire of many theaters of the country.

Significant trace further creative Life M. Shatrov Left acquaintance with film director M. Rommom, in conversations with whom the desire to create in the cinema and theater image of V.I. Lenin, deprived of the textbook gloss, to enter his actions to the real historical situation, restore the dramatic context of the era, show the people around him and their relationship. So in 1969 the plan was originated on the historical documents "Kinoroman" " Brest Mir", in which real historical persons would act in accordance with their political positions and ideological views, and most importantly, the playlithium itself would perform on the fore political life, complete conflicts and irreconcilable struggle, that is, what the author himself formulated in the title of one of his journalistic performances: "History is the best playwright." New attitude to the historical document M. Shatrov largely was obliged to meet with researcher The Institute of Marxism-Leninism (named) V. Loginov, subsequently became its co-author for several works (with discoveries in the "Documentary Drama", made by Western playwright P. Wece, R. Kipperdt and R. Hokhukht, he met later.) Political acuity The conflict designated in the play is the collision of the Bolsheviks with the left communists about the conclusion of the world - was heated by the political situation of the late 1950s, when the Chinese "cultural revolution" began. However, the presence is among acting persons L. Trotsky and N. Bukharin eliminated the possibility of this work in print. The novel was announced in the "New World" A. Tvardovsky, but appeared on the pages of this journal only 20 years later - in 1987.

The inability to name the names of people who really participated in the main historical events Epoch, identified the direction of art search M. Shatrov In the documentary drama "Sixth July" (1962), where prohibited names were pronounced in a telephone conversation. The historic canvas of this work served as the events of 1918, associated with the rebellion of the left speakers. The principal innovation of this drama was the disclosure of the nature of the enemy of the Bolsheviks - Maria Spiridonova as a whole, sincere, ideologous convinced man. It was also important to consider the possibility of the existence of multipartyness, the implementation of which in the country was prevented by circumstances. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe ratio of political goals and means of their achievement was acute. The fundamental ideological and moral outcome was to conclusion that the unjust funds are capable of changing, adjusting, even distorting the right goal. The play with the success of K. Stanislavsky, as well as in many theaters of the country in Moscow, and success. She received a wide response in the press, caused a sharp discontent of the party press. At the same time M. Shatrov A scenario was written, according to which the director Yu. Karasik removed the film, which received the main prize at the XVI Film Festival in Karlovy Vary in 1968.

The playwright cries the idea to create a cycle "Drama of the Revolution" (R. Rolland should serve as a sample here). The drama "Bolsheviks" ("Thirtieth August") raises one of the most acute problems of the life of society on history fractures - revolutionary violence, its borders, admissibility and conditions of application. Taking as the basis of the history of the attempt on V.I. Lenina, M. Shatrov He put forward the question of the reasons for the emergence of the "Red" and "White" terror in the country, about the gradual substitution of the historically explained and necessary, limited by the time frame of violence - violence as a means of power and management, showed the process of mastering this idea of \u200b\u200bthe minds and feelings of people. Easy to line up parallel since 1937. Party and ideological struggle began around the play: censorship was opposed to its production, the propaganda department of the Central Committee of the Party. On November 7, an unprecedented case occurred in the history of the Soviet theater - the play of the Bolsheviks was held on the scene of the Contemporary Theater for the personal resolution of the Minister of Culture E. Furtsev without the official blessing of censorship. Together with the plays of L. Zorin about the Decembrists and A. Freedom of the Spirits, it was the theatrical trilogy of Russian revolutionaries, long lasted in the repertoire of the theater. Among the indisputable artistic advantages of the play, criticism celebrated a special theatrical reception used by the author: the lack of the main character on the stage, and his invisible presence in the thoughts and conversations of the participants in the action, as well as the bright study of characters, the limit sustainability of the stage time.

In the same period M. Shatrov Creates a scenario of four Kinonnel about V.I. Lenin: "Hanging vote", "one and a half hours in Lenin's office", "Air Council", "Commune Vhutemas", in which the echoes of his previous plays (including the unpublished "Brest World" sounded) and who put on television director l . Pchelkin. In connection with the campaign force, M. Shatrov In the distortion of the historical truth, in the subtoping of documents, in the audit line, this television series was shown on television scan only in 1988. The playground was forbidden to write works of historical and revolutionary subjects (I had to interrupt work on the play about Lenin "the undershot portrait"), he threatened an exception from the party. All this determined the waste of M. Shatrov from Lenin theme and appeal to modernity.

The production drama genre was written by the play "Weather for tomorrow" (1973), the material for which was the construction of the Volga Automobile Plant and the processes occurring in the working team. Heroes fit into the types of "business people" the types of "business people" developed in the drama.

In connection with the 30th anniversary of Victory in Great Patriotic War M. Shatrov Writes the play "End" (" The last days Hitler bets "), the appearance of which on the scene of the theater Soviet army It also turned out to be associated with many difficulties (Glavfurn prevented the release of the performance). In the same 1975, the play was delivered to the GDR. The history of the arrival of the Nazis to power was investigated by M. Shatrov In the script "When others are silent" (1987), where on the example of the fate of Clara Zetkin, the question of personal responsibility of the policy for mistakes made by his party, before the people, was raised.

Great success accompanied the social and consumer comedy M. Shatrov "My Hope" in the formulation of the Moscow theater named after the Lenin Komsomol - a play about three women, the fates of which expressed ideals of generations of the 1920s, 1940s and 1970s.

Returning to the historical and revolutionary topic ignored the play "Blue Horses on Red Grass" (1978; another name is "revolutionary etude"), in which M. Shatrov Tested new features of the documentary drama, saturating it with lyrical pathos. In it freely combined poetic fiction and historical realities. An innovative was an attempt to create an image of V.I. Lenin, without resorting to portrait similarity. The actor was supposed to reincarnate, using not make-up and the usual pronunciation, but only individual "hiking" details of clothing (tie in polka dot, cap, etc.). The main thing was the reproduction of the type of thinking and behavior. The play was built as an appeal-testament to descendants ("if you don't succeed, the story will question us") and consisted of conversations and meeting V.I. Lenin with people, during which it turned out that a substitution had occurred: from the idea of \u200b\u200bsocialism, all the human, leaving the miserable, primitive, was turned interpreted, which led to the creation of barracks of socialism.

Two scenarios (jointly with V. Loginov) - "Trust" (1976) and "two lines of small font" (1980) concerned various aspects of the interaction of morality and politics. Trust as a basis for the decision national Question It became, in the view of the author, the program of the young Soviet government in the acute situation of the Finnish branch. A sharp reward of quasipatriotism of some Communists sounded in conversation V.I. Lenin with G. Pyatakov. In the center of the second plot - the history of a young scientist, whose efforts to rehabilitate a person declared by an employee of the guardianship do not bring him a "visible" result - from all searches only scored several lines in a note, "but the school of morality remains for him.

In 1980, M. Shatrov Work began on the play, originally called "Wait," (later, "so we wonder!") Those who passed through the slingshots of censorship, but he received negative feedback from scientists. For the first time from the stage, the text of the Leninsky will, containing the characteristics of the nearest colleagues, was told to the full voice of the leader of the revolution in the last year of life, the initiator of which was I.V. Stalin. In Leninsky reflections, the memories were present an analysis of errors made by him and poured and aggravated followers. The production in which the elements of the tragedy was emphasized on the MCATI scene in 1981 and received positive reviews of leading theatrical critics: M. Zavoyanova, Yu. Rybakova, Kapralova, A. Karaulova, and others. In 1983 for this play M. Shatrov Was awarded the USSR State Prize.

The growing squall of charges against the founder of the socialist state, which emerged in society split, appearance different points Vision on the essence and fate of socialist ideas, the discussion of which was possible with the onset of publicity, fought the playwright to try to reproduce on the stage "Court of Lenin".

The last play of the playwright "Maybe" (1993) was created abroad (in 1992 M. Shatrov I left at the invitation of the Harvard University in the USA) specifically for the famous English actress V. Redgrave and put at the Royal Manchester theater, where she went for 2 months and withstood about 60 ideas. In the play recreated an atmosphere of fear that spread in America during the years of McCarthyism, which urged the psyche of people who turned them into the scoundrels and traitors. To Russia M. Shatrov Returned in the spring of 1994.

Much of found in Dramaturgia M. Shatrov I used in a single prosaic work - "The Chronicles" in the documents and letters "February" (1979; in collaboration with V. Loginov), where history speaks the votes of real participants in the events of the February revolution, its witnesses and eyewitnesses. In the years of restructuring, the writer actively joined the journalistic and public activitieswho paid attention to the previous time (he led a seminar for young playwrights for a long time in the Writers' Union, was the secretary of the Board of the Union of Writers and theatrical Workers). In 1988, articles different years Published by him in the "irreversibility of change" book.

Back in 1986, after the secretary of the Board elected the Union of theatrical Workers (STD) and not wanting to turn into a "high-ranking official from culture", M. Shatrov began to seek the exercise of his cherished dream - the creation of a large international in Moscow cultural Centerwhich would unite under one roof all possible arts - theater, painting, music, movies, television, literature. I liked this idea to other secretaries of STD - O. Efremov, K. Lavrov, M. Zakharov, V. Sadrin. The work had to start from scratch. "We had no money even on the clips, - remembered M. Shatrov. "And I went to the bosses ... In 1987, a resolution of the Moscow Council on the reservation of the land of the land on the Embankment of the Moscow River was signed opposite the Novospassian monastery. The project of the future cultural center has developed beautiful theatrical architects Y. Godvovsky, V. Krasilnikov, D. Solopov.

After the tragic events of October 1993, a pause came in his creative life. In the fall of 1994, CJSC "Moscow - Red Hills" was created, which M.F. Shatrov He headed as president and chairman of the Board of Directors. On July 20, 1995, the first stone of the Russian Cultural Center "Red Hills" was laid, which was commissioned in 2003.

Mikhail Shatrov It is considered one of the creators of the genre of a documentary drama and a supporter of the idea "of socialism with human person"Schetrov is the author of the cycle of the plays about the October Revolution and its leaders. Many specialists and colleagues consider him a harbinger of Gorbachev's restructuring.

About Mikhail Shatrov recalls People's Artist of the RSFSR Yuri Kaiurov:

- This is for me personally infinitely sad news. Because I have, so to speak, in this whole row of films, where I happened to play the role of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, of course, the most top is all recognized, by all, including Mikhail Filippovich Shatrov, - the film "Sixth July". Of course, show Lenin as it was possible to toles in this scenario, in this play "Sixth July", has not been able to anyone. So for me the tents - it will remain forever. This is the biggest creative person, I live with us at one time, and we should be infinitely grateful and grateful.

- Did you manage to communicate with him? And whether your cooperation has grown into friendship?

- Yes, of course, we had come true, we started together, thought and reflecting, stipulated some things. Then for several years there were meetings in the House of Cinema. And I even recently, in my opinion, has not passed a few months later, I met him at the evening of Galina Yevtushenko in the House of Writers, and there was Mikhail Filippovich Tents, we talked, talked, and it is very, very, as they say, - Travel, gentle, gratefully looked at me.

"In addition to the movie" Sixth July ", did you manage to bring the image of Lenin in other films, paintings or plays for the works of Shatrov?

- You know, yes. In Saratov, being still an actor of the Saratov Theater named after Karl Marx, I played the role of Lenin in the play of Shatrov's Day "Day of Silence". It seems to be a play, as they say, is addressed to the young viewer, but, nevertheless, there was a very serious work. This performance was successful, and I was very grateful to Mikhail Filippovich for giving me the opportunity not only in the movie, but also in the theater - it was still before the film "Sixth July" - to embody the image of Lenin.

About Michael Shatrov says film critic Alla Gerber:

- I think that in those days, when the truth was not at all, the half of the truth that Mikhail Shatrov's play was carried and performances, for them set, at that time was very important. And I very well remember our impression, the state after the play of Oleg Efremova "Bolsheviks", when we learned something that we did not know. You see, the tents, tried to get to some truth and walked, probably on the wrong path, because he had the image of Lenin, who had nothing to do with the Soviet power, to the Stalinist regime, to tyranny. And now we know everything perfectly with Lenin and directly at the initiative of Lenin. But for Shatrov and then it was true for us. This is just then we understood how much it was ... Not that he was half a truth, but in general there is no right!

In those days, when the truth was not at all, the half of the truth that Mikhail Shatrov's play was carried and performances, they were very important at that time

Nevertheless, he was sincerely in his search, in his desire to get to the fact that there are truth. And all of his big, at the time, the epochal "Leninian" produced a very strong impression, because we learned something ... I remember the discussion in the play on the scene "Contemporary" - about being, to start or not start "red terror" ... and We also thoughtfully thought, it was or not so, and he thought. And in general, his searches for those times were very conscientious and very worthy. And he then did a lot.

I remember very well the performance "so we will win" in Mkate, and the performances of the "contemporary", and the play "Brest World" in the Vakhtangov Theater, and the play "Further, on, further" in "Lenkom". And I remember well, as the Gleb Panfilov and I have long discussed the idea of \u200b\u200bShatrov to make a script about february Revolution. He raised the materials a lot, and it was interesting, but then Gleb Anatolyevich somehow did not decide to shoot such a film. Because it was still a feeling of untrue. Unbelieving. You know, I do not want to throw stones into it not because it is no longer with us, but because in his life I said it. He sincerely tried to get to do some sources of what happened then, seeing in the February and October revolutions Some positive charge that these revolutions carried. And then, I remember Panfilov felt that it was all not so simple, sorry for the banality, and he still refused to make this film. Nevertheless, a low bow for his search for his work. There are a lot of tents, as far as it was possible, I worked in the archive and wanted to tell the truth. At the same time, he excluded Leninian from the Stalinist regime, from all that happened, in general, after Lenin, ignoring the fact that these were the phenomena of one order.
