Noted Soviet from Georgia represented in rag (7)
I believe the answer is:
gagarin
'noted soviet' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'georgia represented in rag' is the wordplay.
'georgia' becomes 'ga'.
'represented' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'rag'='inrag'
'inrag' with letters rearranged gives 'garin'.
'ga'+'garin'='GAGARIN'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gagarin that I've seen before include "Yuri . . . . . . . made the first manned space flight" , "Yuri ......, first Russian into space" , "Yuri ....... first man in space" , "Yuri --, space pioneer" , "Yuri --, cosmonaut" .)
