Altay, Astrakhan', Gorno-Altay, Magadan, Sakhalin, Ul'yanovsk, and Russia has changed the time zones of some more federal subjects. Altay and Gorno-Altay switched to UTC+6, temporarily, as it turns out. Tomsk's standard time has switched from UTC+7 to UTC+6. Rest of Russia are moving forward an hour.Īt some date around 2006, according to the tz database, Astrakhan', Kirov, Saratov, and Volgograd switched from UTC+4 to UTC+3. That means that those subjects' clocks will stay unchanged while clocks in the Kemerovo will change from UTC+7 to UTC+6, as previouslyĪnnounced. Samara and Udmurt are moving from UTC+4 to UTC+3.

It’s both inconvenient for us and Moscow,” he said in a statement published on his university’s web site. “Our working day ends when it starts in Moscow. Gennady Lazarev, a United Russia deputy and rector of the Vladivostok State Economics and Service University, said the change would promote economic ties between Moscow and the Far East. The time difference between Moscow and Vladivostok might be cut to four hours from the current seven if a Primorye region lawmaker gets his way. Whenever somoene tries to express just how freaking big Russia’s territory is, the phrase “11 time zones” inevitably comes up.
