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

'former russian politician' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'revolting in style' is the wordplay.
'revolting' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'style'='instyle'
'instyle' with letters rearranged gives 'YELTSIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
