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

This clue might be a double definition.

'john's russian' is the first definition.
'Ivan' can be an answer for 'russian' (common Russian name). I am unsure of the 'john's' bit.

'style' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ivan that I've seen before include "Russian tsar called 'the Terrible'" , "terrible tyrant" , "- - the Terrible (Czar)" , "Vain (anag) - Tsar of Russia" , "A Russian emperor, quite Terrible" .)
