message: For an encyclopedia is would be nicer to show the tz based zones on a map too. Maybe in lighter color. TimeCurrency (talk) 04:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Tz database

message: The article must be updated to reflect the new time zones as the first map in the article suggests. A.h. king • Talk to me! 09:31, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it's the other way around: the current terminology is UTC rather than GMT. The only problem with the time zone listings on the page is that it doesn't list the times that zones use during daylight saving time. That's it. Otherwise, the page is comparable to other time zone related pages on Wikipedia. I am adding them as we speak. ZanderSchubert (talk) 04:40, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Template talk:Time zones of Russia]] 

message: :Category:Time_in_Russia now has stubs for the 16 tz database zones located in Russia. These zones are also listed at Time in Russia.
Template:RussiaTimeZone could maybe make use of the utc offsets stored in Template:Time zone/utc offset.
DST offsets would theoretically need to be added, but since Russia stops DST, simply something like
 |kaliningrad oblast=USZ1/USZ1S (UTC+2/+3)
replace with
|kaliningrad oblast=Europe/Kaliningrad
can be done and the templates using Template:RussiaTimeZone be adjusted. Or a new in-between template is created to deliver content for display, i.e. one for mapping divisions to tz zones and one for display. 
Additionally would be nice if more references could be added to the stubs. Time in Russia (talk) 17:04, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Using data from tz database 

message: All articles about time zones were fitted with such remark, most still contain this disinformation. If this were true, then clocks in Moscow would show MSK+01, i.e. UTC+04. But indeed, there is UTC+03 in Moscow still. Actually, the so named decree time was merely an episode of moving MSK from UTC+02 to UTC+03 only of historical interest, because was subsequently overridden by moving time zone boundaries eastward in 1990s, i.e. many regions switched one hour back. This was not resulted in a permanent time keeping system atop of the standard time as Summer Time was. I think that references to it must be purged from all time zone articles, except the history section in Moscow Time.
This came in mid-2009 apparently as a translation from no.wiki; they also should be alerted.

thread_title:  Most of Russia, including blah-blah-blah, uses [[decree time]], which means it lies one hour ahead of [[standard time]] for the corresponding time zone 

message: Two zones cover area that did not observe the same rule set since 1970, all now using Omsk Time:
* Asia/Omsk
** Omsk Oblast
** Altai Krai, Altai Republic changed from UTC+07 to UTC+06 on May 28, 1995
* Asia/Novosibirsk
** Novosibirsk Oblast changed from UTC+07 to UTC+06 on May 23, 1993, 
** Tomsk Oblast changed from UTC+07 to UTC+06 on May 1, 2002. 
Questions:  Was it really May 1, 2002? The articles mentions 17 April. When did Omsk Oblast change? Time in Russia (talk) 12:55, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Yes. De facto in Crimea act accordingly Russian time, but spamming article with maps with Crimea as part of Russia are mainly a part of the project of Russians and their yes-men to justify and to normalize  Crimea as a part of Russia. Internationally and officially this annexation isn't accepted. This same applies with time zones.--Smörre (talk) 20:35, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Crimea as part of Russsian time zone? 

message: It seems that most of the Russian time zone abbreviations like SAMT (Samara Time) or YEKT (Yekaterinburg Time) were invented by the contributors of the tz database (these were since replaced by numerical abbreviations in recent versions except for EET/EEST -Kaliningrad- and MSK/MSD -Moscow-).
