What does 'vory' mean?


It was said several times in the movie, hope I spelled it correctly.

Pretty sure it's a character name. The one that Paul cornered in the club, who then ran and was shot by Danny.

It translates as "thieves" from Russian. Usually refers to the russian mob. But there is also a character in the movie whose name is vory, so it could be that as well.

reply

I wonder if its the Russian equivalent of "gangster" or something. They kept saying "a vory" not "Vory".

reply

It effectively means thieves as mentioned previously. "Vor" is a single thief, vory = plural.

The Russian mafia = vor v zakone = thief in law.
