Biography
Early Life
Lafayette Ronald Hubbard was born on March 13, 1911, in the United States, to Ledora May Waterbury and Harry Ross Hubbard, a low-ranking Navy officer. His childhood was marked by frequent relocations due to his father's military career, which included a significant move to Guam during World War I. Despite his early struggles in academics, including being dropped from high school for poor grades, Hubbard graduated from a preparatory school and entered George Washington University in 1930, where he continued to face academic challenges.
Career
Hubbard's career began in the realm of pulp fiction, where he wrote science fiction and fantasy novels. However, his most notable contribution came in 1950 with the publication of "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," which laid the groundwork for his later establishment of Scientology in 1952. This transition marked a significant shift in his career, as he moved from fiction writing to creating a new religious movement that would garner both followers and controversy. Over the years, Hubbard produced numerous albums and lectures, including works like "Space Jazz" and "The Road to Freedom," showcasing his diverse interests in music and philosophy.
Legacy
Hubbard passed away on January 24, 1986, leaving behind a complex legacy. He was survived by his wife Mary Sue and several children, though he disinherited some of them. His literary contributions have been met with mixed reviews; while some view him as a significant figure in science fiction, others regard him as a controversial and divisive character in the literary world. His influence persists through the Church of Scientology, which he founded and led until his death, continuing to attract both followers and critics alike.

Also known as: Л. Рон Хаббард
Lafayette Ronald Hubbard was an American author and the founder of Scientology. A prolific writer of pulp science fiction and fantasy novels in his early career, in 1950 he authored the pseudoscientific book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and established organizations to promote and practice Dianetics techniques. Hubbard created Scientology in 1952 after losing the intellectual rights to his literature on Dianetics in bankruptcy. He would lead the Church of Scientology – variously described as a cult, a new religious movement, or a business – until his death in 1986.
