He could not watch movies or have a computer, although he would use one behind her back at the library and was able to use one later in his life. A teacher convinced his mother to buy it for him. Vladislav burned a bible before his attack, signaling he was an athiest. He joked about the Jehovahs witnesses. He also mentioned not believing in a heaven or hell.

He set of pepper spray in class once, and wouldnt tell anyone his motive for doing it. He became friends with a group of students at school, but was not a big part in their group. He got arrested a couple times for drinking. He found no escape in his life, finding no peace with anything. He began to isolate from his parents and would talk violently about other people. He talked online on serial killer groups and would talk about hating other people and lacking empathy. He did not hide his fascinstion. He would play school shooter mod games and would threaten to kill others and himself. He had one crush on a girl and was afraid he would scare her. He talked online with her quite often.
