YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ruslan Kogan was 6 years old when his parents fled communist Belarus for Melbourne with $90 in their pockets.

In this segment of Hello World Australia, Ashlee Vance gets the story of the business's unlikely origins in a clever scheme to score a cheap high-definition TV.
