First Soviet leader (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lenin

'first soviet leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lenin that I've seen before include "Leader of the Russian Revolution" , "Marxist theoretician" , "Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov" , "Early Soviet leader" , "First premier of the Soviet Union, d. 1924" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the LA Times and The Times.
