A group of Russian YouTubers thought it would be a good idea to film some sort of music video at an abandoned hotel in Bali and didn’t give a hoot when people tried to stop them.

In travel vlog posted to YouTube on Feb. 8 by ‘AlexanderTikhomirovFamily’, the video documents the Russian group’s adventures as they scout their shooting location and engage in an uncomfortable-to-watch confrontation with locals at the abandoned resort.

Very clearly trespassing, the group climbs over fences, ducks under caution tape denoting ‘do not enter’, and climbs on to dilapidated rooftops to get their ‘perfect shots.’

Then, whilst on the roof, two Indonesian men approach the Russians, yelling “Out, out!” and “No, no, no!”. (Cut to 5:13 in the video.)

The Russians play dumb, acting like they don’t understand how there could possibly be a problem that their group is perched on the roof of a very old, unstable building, which also happens to be private property.

One of the Indonesian men breaks a stick to apparently threaten the Russians, which has little to no effect, as the narrator jokes, “Kill this guy,” and urges the angry men to “chill, chill, chill.”

As the Indonesians continue to insist that the trespassers leave and tell of the danger of the group being on the roof, the vloggers seem totally at ease and proceed to check their footage and plot their return later.

“We could not reach an agreement to film here even for money, so we will go to shoot at the temple. I think people there are more welcoming,” one of the YouTubers says.

And the vulgarity doesn’t end there.

“But there is also a second option, but it is outlawed: to get rid of the dwarf,” he despicably adds.
