Moscow Time

<p>Moscow Time  is the <a href="/facts/Time_zone/x5JzdlX8">time zone</a> for the city of <a href="/facts/Moscow/AcFYpQUR">Moscow</a>, <a href="/facts/Russia/jfkCwyxn">Russia</a>, and most of western Russia, including <a href="/facts/Saint_Petersburg/pNuCBxaM">Saint Petersburg</a>. It is the second-westernmost of the eleven <a href="/facts/Time_in_Russia/YACxV4gq">time zones of Russia</a>, after the non-continguous <a href="/facts/Kaliningrad_enclave/zN9PIRFb">Kaliningrad enclave</a>. It has been set to <a href="/facts/UTC%252B03%3a00/edqscrXm">UTC+03:00</a> without <a href="/facts/Daylight_saving_time/bEWvB1Rt">DST</a> since 26 October 2014; before that date it had been set to UTC+04:00 <a href="/facts/Daylight_saving_time/bEWvB1Rt">year-round</a> on 27 March 2011.
</p><p>Moscow Time is used to schedule <a href="/facts/Rail_transport_in_Russia/lWgyJXF8">trains</a>, ships, etc. throughout Russia, but <a href="/facts/Air_transport_in_Russia/JomFbExP">air transport in Russia</a> is scheduled using local time. <a href="/facts/Time_in_Russia/YACxV4gq">Time in Russia</a> is often announced throughout the country's other timezones on <a href="/facts/Radio_station/FLJVq8Ec">radio stations</a> as Moscow Time, which is also registered in <a href="/facts/Telegram/JhRYDSDu">telegrams</a>, etc. Descriptions of time zones in Russia are often based on Moscow Time rather than <a href="/facts/UTC/2EnjfSyu">UTC</a>; for example, <a href="/facts/Yakutsk/QnDgGCwX">Yakutsk</a> (<a href="/facts/UTC%252B09%3a00/2Jg4HtTk">UTC+09:00</a>) is said to be MSK+6 in Russia.
