Lev Rubinstein is considered one of the founders and leaders of Moscow conceptualism. In the mid-70s, he came up with his own genre – poems on cards. Rubinstein's first works were published in Western countries; in Russia he gained popularity in the late 1980s.
Rubinstein opposed the war in Chechnya and participated in opposition rallies
In 2003, the poet signed a letter against the war in Chechnya. The authors of the letter proposed going to a protest rally on Pushkin Square in Moscow. In particular, they turned to colleagues working in the arts and sciences.
Rubinstein also actively participated in single pickets and rallies organized by the opposition. In May 2012, he joined a walk with writers along the Boulevard Ring. The walk was organized to check whether it is possible to walk along the boulevards in Moscow without the sanction of the authorities. The protest took place peacefully.
In March 2013, Rubinstein took part in a series of single pickets for the release of Pussy Riot members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova. In March 2022, the poet spoke out against a special military operation in Ukraine.
