His plays are often based on historical events. "The Bolsheviks" is based on the true story of Fanny Kaplan's attempt to assassinate Vladimir Lenin.[4] The play "The Peace Treaty of Brest-Litovsk" was initially banned by the regime in the USSR due to its depiction of Lenin and was approved for publication only in 1987, 25 years after it was written.[5] In 1988 an all-Russian cast toured Europe performing "The Peace Treaty of Brest-Litovsk"; in 1990 the company toured in the US as well.[6]

Mikhail Shatrov 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.
