Russian edict (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ukase

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">russian edict</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ukase that I've seen before include "Decree or edict from Russia" , "Decree (originally from the Tsar)" , "Tsarist edict with the force of law" , "Russian imperial decree" , "Imperial decree in Tsarist Russia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
