CROSSWORD #968: Russian Influence

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF] 
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]

Comrades. Enjoy, the latest fruit of my efforts. And remember, in Russia, you don't solve the puzzle, the puzzle solves you.

Speaking of comrades, my comrade Tyler Hinman was on TV this past Monday. The legend showed off his puzzle solving speed and sense of humor on "Superhuman," a light entertainment-type competition show where people I guess show off mental parlor tricks on Fox. This isn't the first time one of my buddies have appeared on the same program. Zoe Wheeler was on the pilot, and later this month, Aimee Lucido will do her thing. Regardless. I still haven't seen Tyler's episode myself as the show has been blocked in Europe (I'm in Iceland as I'm typing this). But you can. Enjoy.

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
