Russian leader (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

putin

lenin

'russian leader' is the definition.
(Vladimir Lenin)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lenin that I've seen before include "Revolutionary leader" , "Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, d. 1924" , "Russian revolutionary" , "V. I. -, Soviet politician and revolutionary" , "First leader of USSR" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Sydney Morning Herald.
