Vladislav Roslyakov: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

Vladislav Igorevich Roslyakov was born on May 2, 2000 to parents Igor Roslyakov and Galina Roslyakova in Kerch, Russia. The couple would later divorce ten years after the birth of their son, however, after Igor sustained an acute cranial injury and began acting in an aggressive manner towards family members, including Vladislav and Galina. The unspecified head injury resulted in Igor becoming disabled.

Little is known about Roslyakov's parents. A significant detail that has emerged since the attack is the fact that Galina was/is a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, a cult that had already been banned in Russia. Galina enforced restrictive behaviors (possibly picked up from the group) upon her son. As a result, Vladislav was barred from partaking in certain activities such as visiting the cinema and participating in lighthearted school events. Galina would also frequently search her son's pockets and limit his social interactions (which could very well have contributed to Roslyakov's lack of many friends). Vladislav ~~was not granted permission~~ to ~~use~~ the ~~computer until~~ he ~~turned sixteen~~. In contrast to his mother's strict religious views, Vladislav Roslyakov developed his own atheistic views as he emerged into adulthood. On October 16, 2018, only a day before the massacre, Vladislav confided to a friend that he did not believe in an afterlife.

Contrary to popular belief, Vladislav did in fact have access to internet before the age of sixteen. When he was around fourteen, perhaps younger based on his voice, he uploaded a video onto the website YouTube: a play through of video game Minecraft.

Prior to his enrollment at Kerch Polytechnic Institute, Vladislav attended a local school. During this time, he expressed no interest in his studies and consequently received poor grades. It is implied that Roslyakov had a fascination with weapons from a young age and had few friends. As far as we know, this element of independence was something that would remain consistent throughout his life.
