'a result' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'controversial congress in minsk?' is the wordplay.
'controversial' is an anagram indicator.
'congress'+'in'+'minsk'='congressinminsk'
'congressinminsk' with letters rearranged gives 'MORNING-SICKNESS'.

'of' acts as a link.
