It's Red Revolution, the worst (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

direst

'the worst' is the definition.

'it's red revolution' is the wordplay.
'revolution' indicates anagramming the letters.
'its'+'red'='itsred'
'itsred' anagrammed gives 'DIREST'.

(Other definitions for direst that I've seen before include "far from ideal" , "Most horrific" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
