He graduated from the Faculty of History and Philology of Petersburg University (1882).

He was an organizer of the "Young People's Will Party" as well as its leader and ideologist. From the age of 24, he spent many years of his life in prisons and katorga.
He spent three years in the Peter-Paul Fortress for participation in political movements and was subjected to penal servitude in Siberia from 1887 to 1899. He published in 1895 — under the pseudonym L.

According to an article on Leon Trotsky by David North (referring to Yakubovich's poems) "His poems, which evoked the heroism and tragedy of the doomed struggle of the revolutionary terrorists against tsarism, made a deep moral impact upon the youth of the 1890s."
