editDubrovin was born in Moscow in 1926. His father was Savva Semenovich Gall, from Uman, Kiev Governorate, and his mother was Esfir Abelevna Khaza, from Pinsk, Minsk Governorate. His father was a typographic worker in his youth, and in the Russian Civil War he was a commissar in the First Cavalry Army. His grandfather was a church watchman. His father had a younger sister. In 1936, when Dubrovin was 9 years old, his father was arrested as an enemy of the people, and after a while his mother was arrested for not reporting on the enemy of the people. His father died in prison, after which he was rehabilitated. His mother, a doctor, served 6 years imprisonment, after which she was disabled. She was also rehabilitated.[1]
Dubrovin graduated from high school, and during World War II he worked as a turner at a defence plant then volunteered for the infantry. From February 1944, he was a submachine gunner in the 95th Rifle Regiment .

He was awarded an order and medals.[1]
He engaged in literary work from 1946. His first book, На первом рубеже ("At the First Frontier"), was published in 1955. He graduated from the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute in 1958 and became a member of the Union of Soviet Writers in 1957.[1]
He was a laureate of all-union and all-Russian literary, music and television competitions as well as international competitions; awards were received for poems to songs. He was awarded the Konstantin Simonov Literary Prize in 2015 for his last few books.[1] He won the all-union competition for best patriotic work, organised by DOSAAF, and became a diploma winner of the USSR Ministry of Defence literature prize in 1972.
