Brezhnev of the USSR (6)

I believe the answer is:

leonid

(Other definitions for leonid that I've seen before include "bit of a shower" , "- Brezhnev, Russian president" , "-- Brezhnev, former Soviet leader" , "Part of swarm" , "Brezhnev, for one" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
