Values ​​include loyalty to "one's own," strength, disdain for "outsiders" and the state, and respect for "authorities." A "boy" must be responsible for his words ("watch his talk"). By right of the strong, gang members extract "tribute" from "dealers" and "suckers" as if they were subservient citizens. This is called "loading them up according to the rules and swindling them out of their money." Theoretically, "boys" condemn "lawlessness," but the moral standards of this community, at least with regard to "non-boys," are quite flexible. "Boys" can cheat, rob, and, if necessary, kill, with very few restrictions.

The main bully of the 6th grade "B," living by his own rules and not hesitating to bully the weak. Due to pedagogical neglect and the indifference of adults, Romka is in many ways reminiscent of a wild animal. It's likely he understands the hopelessness of his situation in a forgotten village where child abductions regularly occur, and this largely contributes to his marginal lifestyle. All that is known about his family is that his father fought in Dashti-Margo, fulfilling his International Duty, as Roma himself states. Apparently, he deeply respects his father, and the topic of war is serious enough for the boy to punish those willing to use it for blackmail. Romka easily recognizes the lie that Anton's father fought in the war and threatens to seriously injure his classmate for such remarks. It is also later revealed that Roma's father served in prison. Romka respects those who stand up for themselves and despises those who act underhandedly, considering it a form of thieving. Romka is known for his cruelty and instability. The other gang members are somewhat afraid of him. Romka expertly twirls a butterfly knife, smokes, and collects music videos with Byasha. He himself provokes the gang or insults them. His manner of speech is a mixture of street slang and prison expressions. He is often deliberately rude, demonstrating his "authority." Romka hates the police, dismissively calling them "cops." He himself has been brought to the police station several times for vandalism and theft.

The leader of a gang of thugs from 6B. His father served in Afghanistan, speaks a little lingo, is a boxer, and is a professional butterfly knife twirler. He has several police records for theft and vandalism. And despite his dangerous nature, he's adored by his classmates.
The character description on the novel's official page reads: a twelve-year-old boy with short dark brown hair, large lips, and sharp, coarse features, leading some to compare him to a small predatory animal. He is physically well-developed, and regular boxing has left him with calluses on his palms. Roma also has bruised knuckles. He is described as having strong, sharp teeth and dirty nails.

Roma usually dresses in a blue[3] three-striped tracksuit, consisting of a high-collared sweatshirt and pants, and wears blunt-toed boots.

On the street, Roma wears a leather jacket over his tracksuit. His hat covers only the back of his head.
