Subbotin studied at Warsaw University and then held posts in Russia. From 1930 he worked in astronomy and celestial mechanics at Leningrad (St Petersburg). In 1942 he nearly died of hunger in the siege of Leningrad but was evacuated just in time.

Subbotin's early work was in the theory of functions and probability. Later he worked in celestial mechanics producing new methods of calculating orbits from three observations based on solving the Euler-Lambert equations.
