Musical career
2013–2014: Nu Virgos
After Konstantin Meladze announced the closure of the band in January 2013, the former general producer of the group Dmitry Kostyuk, who owned the rights to the «VIA Gra» brand and related rights to the repertoire of the group recorded during collaboration with the Sony Music label, in January began casting a new line-up of the group independently of Konstantin Meladze.
On 15 October 2013, a presentation of the new line-up of the group took place in Moscow, where Medova was presented as one of the participants. On 18 October, a presentation was held in Kyiv. In December 2013, their debut single was released as part of a group called «Магия». The author of this composition was Alexey Malakhov. Also in December 2013, the group took part in the New Year 's show the First National channel. In 2014, the band was going to present an album called «Магия», but for certain reasons, the release never took place.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Dasha Medova” as ukrainian singer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as ukrainian singer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21664082. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1990, 2018, 2013 and 2014.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
