Shove a relative poet from Russia (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pushkin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'poet from russia' is the definition.
'pushkin' can be an answer for 'poet' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'from russia' bit.

'shove a relative' is the wordplay.
'shove' becomes 'push' (I've seen this before).
'a relative' becomes 'kin' (kin is a kind of relative).
'push'+'kin'='PUSHKIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pushkin that I've seen before include "Russian poet, author and dramatist" , "As writer" , "Boris Godunov poet" .)

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