description: The Mironov Legacy is based on the family papers of the Mironov family. Its central character Pyotr Vasilievich Mironov is the grandfather of Helen and Kate Mirren. Pyotr was in London on a military mission for the Tsar when the Russian Revolution took place in 1917 and he was forced to remain in exile in Britain with his wife and children. The rest of the Mironov family remained in Russia and the play draws on letters exchanged during the political and social turmoil that followed the Revolution as well as on Pyotr's own unpublished memoir.
