Rubin had been hospitalized since Nov. 14, when he was hit by a car while crossing the street against a red light near his home in Los Angeles.
Rubin was among seven protestors charged for inciting violence during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago which resulted in the notorious "Chicago Seven" trial. He turned to spiritualism in the 1970s, discovering yoga, bioenergetics and self-awareness programs that eventually led him to venture banking on Wall Street.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
