Nu Virgos (Ukrainian: ВІА Гра ) was the name used to promote the musical group VIA Gra (ВИА Гра) outside of Ukraine and other nearby countries.
 The name "VIA Gra" is both a reference to the drug Viagra and a play on words, since the first three letters stand for "vocal-instrumental ensemble" in Ukrainian, and "hra" means "game" in Ukrainian and it is also kind of a signature of the surnames of the two first girls of the group, VI-nnitskay-A and GRA-novskaya, the originally used maiden name of Nadya Meikher.
 Nu Virgos was a Ukrainian girl group that hit the charts in these countries in September 2000 with their first single ""Popytka No. 5"".
