Nikolay Mikhaylovich Rubtsov (Russian: Николай Михайлович Рубцов; 3 January 1936, Yemetsk, Northern Krai – 19 January 1971, Vologda) was a Russian poet.[1]

Rubtsov was killed on the night of 19 January 1971, at the age of 36, 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 her hands.[2][3]

Asteroid 4286 Rubtsov was named after him.
