Former Russian politician revolting in style (7)
I believe the answer is:
yeltsin
'former russian politician' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'revolting in style' is the wordplay.
'revolting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'style'='instyle'
'instyle' is an anagram of 'YELTSIN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yeltsin that I've seen before include "Boris -, former Russian president" , "Former leader" , "Russian statesman" , "Nineteen ninety's Russian president" , "Russian leader" .)
