* VodkaDrunkenski: Mostly averted despite the band's favour for playing with Russian stereotypes. Even in songs like "I'm OK" which plays it straight, the music video shows most people drinking beer rather than vodka. The one time Ilich is explicitly shown drinking vodka (in "Skibidi", if what happens can be called "drinking"), he is perfectly fine in the next scene.

The name Little Big didn't come out of nowhere: for the first year of the band's existence, it consisted of vocalist Ilich, DJ Sergey "Gokk" Makarov and two female vocalists Anna Kast and Olympia Ivleva, who were little women, the name of the band being a reference to the band members' differences in height. A year later Anna left the band citing creative differences and the need to shift her focus back on her day job (kindergarten teacher), and the band welcomed two new members: Gokk's bandmate from Jane Air Anton "Boo" Lissov (although as of "Rock, Paper, Scissors", he seems to have changed his nickname to "Tony"), who previously cameoed in the band's videos as an evil clown, joined Little Big as guitarist and backing vocalist, and Sofya "Sonya" Tayurskaya replaced Anna on vocals. Four years later, Olympia quit the band as well to focus on different projects, and the band has remained a quartet ever since.
