The abbreviation appearing as CCCP is the equivalent of SSSR in the Cyrillic alphabet used for writing the Russian language. This title, appearing below in Cyrillic spelling, is translated as Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The abbreviation in English is obviously USSR; the Russian word for "union"--pronounced so-yooz--begins with the sound of "s" which is represented by a letter that looks like our "c."
