How does it work exactly?

Oblast = Russian province. To hit = blast, next to "o" which is nothing .
― ailsa, Monday, 2 November 2009 15:52 (sixteen years ago)
Yep, what ailsa said. Kind of clumsy, sorry, but I got preoccupied with hit->blast for your "global" clue, then the only 6-letter word I could make out of it was that, and it wouldn't leave my head. Is "next to" bad form for "after" or is it OK on either side?

Oh, I thought this was the answer to "Red State, almost (6)"

Ha, no, still scratching my head over that one myself.

Quite pleased with it, but I'll give you a while before I put a letter in.

Correct
― Drag Me to Hull (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 November 2009 16:13 (sixteen years ago)
nice.
― ailsa, Monday, 2 November 2009 16:21 (sixteen years ago)
I think, strictly, I expect 'x next to y' to be in solution order (so that clue indicates 'blasto'), but I'm not 100% sure.
(xp yes, that 'florid' is neat)
