Russian movies cut abroad (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

muscovite

'russian' is the definition.
(Muscovite is an example)

'movies cut abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' is an anagram indicator.
'movies'+'cut'='moviescut'
'moviescut' is an anagram of 'MUSCOVITE'.

(Other definitions for muscovite that I've seen before include "A native of Moscow" , "A citizen of Moscow" , "Russian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
