The Red Room was a Soviet program designed to train young women as infiltrators and assassins. It fell under the program known as Otdeleniye Nulevoy, the Russian equivalent to the US Program Weapon Plus.

The head of the Red Room since inception has been Lyudmila Kudrin, aka 'Mother'. She created the Widow protocols and used her trainees as test subjects for the Infinity Formula. She herself was not an ideal match for the Infinity Formula and has been heavily augmented by experimental cybernetics.
Many Red Room assets were lost when the Soviet Union collapsed. A faction of Soviet Restorationists called Katyusha were able to recruit Lyudmila and her girls.
