Russian or Bulgarian, eg (4)

I believe the answer is:

slav

(Other definitions for slav that I've seen before include "Native of eastern Europe or northwestern Asia" , "Person speaking one of related languages of Euro-Asian border" , "Eastern European" , "A Russian, say" , "One coming from Eastern Europe or Asian Russia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
