Russia Switched to Daylight Saving Time

Today at 2 in the morning Moscow time, Russia has switched to daylight saving time. Most people have transferred their clocks one hour forward.

However, this time not all regions of the country has switched to daylight saving time. The reason is that Russia reformed to change the lap time in a number of regions.  Today five subjects of the Russian Federation began living in a new way.

In particular, Udmurtia and Samara Region and switched to Moscow time, the Kemerovo region - to Omsk Time (3 hour time difference with Moscow), and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and Kamchatka joined the timezone of Magadan (MSK+ 8).

With these changes concepts such as "Samara Time" and "Kamchatka time" ceased to exist, and the number of time zones in the Russian Federation declined from 11 to 9.
