Trubkin Zusman (Sussmann) Abramovich (1923, Dagda) — electrician.

Zusman Trubkin was the son of Abram Zusmanovich Trubkin (1892, Daugavpils — 1966, Riga) and Elka Zelikovna Trubkina (1889, Dagda — 1965, Riga). He studied at a primary school in Dagda (1929–1936). In 1940, he graduated from the Daugavpils Jewish Vocational School, and in 1941 — from a Riga evening school.

In 1941, he was evacuated to Budennovsk in the Kirghiz SSR, where until 1943 he worked as a laborer in veterinary construction. In 1943, he was sent to the Irkuskan mine (Chelyabinsk Region), where he worked until 1946, when he returned to Latvia.

He worked as an electrician at the Jelgava Water Supply and Sewerage Trust (1946–1947). After moving to Riga, he was a mechanic at the REZ factory (1947–1954), a mechanic at the Zasulauks locomotive depot (1954–1963), an adjuster at the RVZ (1963–1964), again a mechanic at the Zasulauks locomotive depot (1964–1967), and an electrician at Construction and Repair Administration No. 1 (1967–1971).

In marriage with Ida Bentsionovna Trubkina (née Berzon) (21 September 1923, Riga), a daughter was born: Basya Zusmanovna Adno (née Trubkina) (1949, Riga).

In 1971, Zusman Trubkin received permission to emigrate to Israel, where since 1969 his sister, Zinaida Abramovna Veyler (née Trubkina) (1921, Dagda), had been living.
