Rash logic confused Russian rulers (9)

I believe the answer is:

oligarchs

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

'russian rulers' is the definition.
'oligarchs' can be an answer for 'rulers'. I am not certain of the 'russian' bit.

'rash logic confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'rash'+'logic'='rashlogic'
'rashlogic' with letters rearranged gives 'OLIGARCHS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oligarchs that I've seen before include "governors" , "Influential businessmen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
