Resting place for many a Russian? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

divan

'resting place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'many a russian?' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'D' (Roman numeral for 500).
'a russian?' becomes 'ivan' (common Russian name).
'd'+'ivan'='DIVAN'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for divan that I've seen before include "Couch - bed" , "Piece of furniture" , "Backless seat; bed" , "resting place" , "Viand (anag.)" .)
