Dima Nova—whose given name was Dmitry Svirgunov—founded the popular electronic group Cream Soda, and criticized Russian President Vladmir Putin’salleged $1.3 billion mansion in the song “Aqua Disco.” The song was often sung at protests before and in the early days of Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the protests quickly became known as “Aqua Disco Parties.”
Nova fell through ice while crossing Russia’s Volga river in the Yaroslavl region, north east of Moscow, according to Russian news website People Talk. He was with his brother Roma and two friends.
Cream Soda announced Nova’s passing on Monday on Instagram.
“We had a tragedy last night. Our Dima Nova, in the company of friends, was walking along the Volga and fell under the ice. The Ministry of Emergency Situations are still looking for his brother Roma and friend, Gosha Kiselev. Aristarchus, our friend who also fell under the ice, was caught, but could not be saved. As soon as we have information from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, we will inform you,” the group wrote in the caption.
