City of Helsinki evacuated (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kiev

'city' is the definition.
(Kiev is an example)

'of helsinki evacuated' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'KIEV' is hidden within 'helsinki evacuated'.

(Other definitions for kiev that I've seen before include "Ukraine's largest city" , "Ukrainian city" , "FC Dynamo/chicken ___" , "Ukraine's capital - way of cooking chicken" , "Capital city of the Ukraine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
