Old Russian leader (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tsar

'old russian leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tsar that I've seen before include "Rats (anag)" , "specific authority" , "Once-powerful Russian" , "Formal rulings on Islamic law; was aft (anag.)" , "Alexander and Nicholas held this title in Russia" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the LA Times and The Sun.
