It's well known that Aussies make up the largest cohort of nationalities in Bali at any one time...aside from Indonesians of course. We jest that the island paradise is essentially another Australian post code. But since early last year, another country has been represented in higher numbers on the island paradise...and it has some locals offside. 

Since the invasion of Ukraine started, Russians have been fleeing their native land with many heading to Australia's favourite holiday destination. 

In this episode of The Quicky we'll take a look at why Russians are fleeing to Bali and why some of their behaviour has some locals calling for them to be sent home.
