During the afternoon hours of October 17, 2018, eighteen-year-old Kerch Polytechnic Institute senior Vladislav Roslyakov entered school grounds, armed with more than ten homemade explosives, 150 bullets, and a Hatsan Escort Aimguard 12-gauge pump-action shotgun that Roslyakov paid approximately 30,000-40,000 roubles for (or $450-600 USD). The gun was legally purchased by the perpetrator, as he had obtained a gun/weapon permit earlier that year. The currency used to acquire the shotgun was allegedly stolen from his grandmother. Roslyakov was donned in black jeans, a black hoodie (which was likely discarded before the events of the massacre), and a white short-sleeved shirt with black text across it, displaying the word 'ненависть'. ненависть, when translated to English, means 'hatred'. The suspect had also equipped himself with two bags, a grey one and black one. One of these bags, according to investigators, contained ten homemade bombs.

Although contradictory statements have arisen since the publication of the attack, witnesses claim that Roslyakov began his attack in the canteen before running from room to room, firing his weapon at anyone he spotted. The suspect also planted two bombs, one in the canteen and another in the institute's dining area. No deaths, however, have directly resulted from the detonations of these explosives. Officials claimed that one of the explosives contained unspecified metal objects. Roslyakov's body was discovered in the library on the second floor of the institute. Upon further examination, it is extremely likely that Roslyakov died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
