Bevy of bureaucrats arrive with a Romanov (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tsar

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

'romanov' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'bevy of bureaucrats arrive' is the wordplay.
'TSAR' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'with a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tsar that I've seen before include "Old leader" , "Potentate" , "Monarch of old Russia" , "Peter the Great, for example" , "A former Russian ruler - rats to him" .)
