Only write-over was 1A because I went, oh, 1993, end of the USSR! That didn't work so CCCP it was but those are Russian letters.

I was sure you would be gushing all over about the theme (especially since les couleurs etaient en francais!).<br /><br />Alas, I find you were too busy working on your next puzzles.

I originally thought the long acrosses were going to be connected so it took a bit to get the theme. <br /><br />I also got stuck in the SW with MANS/SENNA/NOWIN, taking me the longest to suss out.
