Romka is the main hooligan of the 6th "B" class, who lives by the rules and does not hesitate to offend the weak. Due to pedagogical neglect and indifference of adults, Romka is in many ways similar to a wild animal. It is likely that he is aware of the hopelessness of his position in the forgotten village, where abductions (and most likely murders) of children regularly occur, and this largely contributes to his marginal lifestyle. He has a friend Byasha, who is part of his gang.
