Ross

divan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it offers rest at' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'end of the road for a russian' is the wordplay.
'end of the' indicates one should take the final letters.
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a russian' becomes 'Ivan' (common Russian name).
The final letter of 'road' is 'd'.
'd'+'ivan'='DIVAN'

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
