Name of city once recollected in a grand list (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stalingrad

'name of city once' is the definition.
(former name of Volgograd in Russia)

'recollected in a grand list' is the wordplay.
'recollected in' indicates an anagram (letters arranged or collected in a different way).
'a'+'grand'+'list'='agrandlist'
'agrandlist' is an anagram of 'STALINGRAD'.

(Other definitions for stalingrad that I've seen before include "where food was short during siege" , "Old Russian city" , "Former name of Volgograd" , "Russian scene of major World War two battle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
