Bygone Russian emperor (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

czar

(Other definitions for czar that I've seen before include "Despot" , "Pre-1917 Russian ruler" , "person of great power" , "policy coordinator" , "Russian ruler (alt. but not rare spelling)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
