Memorial to Rubtsov

Rubtsov was tragically killed in the night of January 19, 1971, at the 36th year of his life, in his apartment, the result of a domestic dispute with an aspiring poet Lyudmyla Derbina. The judicial investigation established that the death was violent, occurred as a result of suffocation-mechanical asphyxia from squeezing the neck with his hands.[2][3]

Asteroid 4286 Rubtsov was named after him.
