CCCP
Soviet initials, natively
CCCP is the Cyrillic abbreviation for the Soviet Union, standing for Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
The letters appeared on Soviet spacecraft, Olympic uniforms, and military equipment from 1922 until the USSR's dissolution in 1991.
In English contexts, CCCP often evokes Cold War imagery or Soviet nostalgia: vintage CCCP hockey jerseys.
