Periodic table creator Mendeleev (6)

I believe the answer is:

dmitri

'periodic table creator mendeleev' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for dmitri that I've seen is " Russian".)

I've seen this clue in the Jonesin', the King Feature Syndicate, the Jonesin Crosswords and the Newsday.com.
