‘Ballerina’: So What’s the Ruska Roma Again? And How Is John Wick Involved?

Although the first John Wickfilm was a straightforward revenge film, it has inspired an epic franchise that has developed its own unique universe filled with assassins, codes, secret organizations, and oaths of chivalry. Within five films, including the latest spinoff, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, the franchise has established a powerful council known as “the High Table,” which keeps all the other criminal factions in check. The Ruska Roma is a ruthless, secretive criminal organization in Germany and is responsible for the training of both John Wick (Keanu Reeves) and Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas).
