Ilya Prusikin (born 1985, stage name Ilich) is a Russian musician, singer, video director and screenwriter, best known as the founder and frontman of the St. Petersburg punk-pop-rave band Little Big. He co-founded the group in 2013 with filmmaker Alina Pasok, and the band rose to global recognition through absurdist, high-concept music videos that collectively surpass 4 billion YouTube views. Little Big were selected to represent Russia at Eurovision 2020 with the song "Uno" - the contest was cancelled due to the pandemic, but the video went on to become the most-viewed clip in Eurovision's official YouTube history. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Prusikin publicly opposed the war, relocated to Los Angeles, and was subsequently designated a "foreign agent" by Russia's Ministry of Justice in January 2023.
Little Big released the new single "DAS ADIDAS" on May 15, 2026, ahead of a full studio album planned for autumn 2026.
Little Big announced a 24-date Europe Tour 2026, kicking off in Oslo on October 11 and spanning 13 countries.
Little Big cancelled their planned North American "Original Skibidi Tour" dates in November 2025, citing unforeseen circumstances.
Prusikin transferred the Little Big trademark rights to the band's director Alina Pasok, reportedly to continue receiving royalties despite his foreign-agent status in Russia.
