"The hand doesn't want to write it. And the brain and heart to accept. How much more was planned to do together. I thought I was being played stupidly. Dima Nova is cheerful, cheerful and very talented. Tragically died on the Volga. My condolences to all his family and everyone who knew him,” Sviridova wrote.
Rapper Feduk (Fedor Insarov) called Svirgunov his true friend, and also noted that it was difficult for him to find words after what happened.

"We were not the best, but we were real friends. I write and delete to better find the words. Recording our album is a lifetime. I saw and felt your love for work, for art, for people. I have always appreciated your honesty and directness. Thank you for everything! — commented Insarov.
Words of support and condolences were also left by rapper Dzhigan, singer Rita Dakota, ex-soloist of Cream Soda Anna Romanovskaya and many others.
Dmitry Svirgunov fell through the ice on the night of March 19-20. Four other people were injured along with him. One of them was saved.
