Thanks, Eric. The list paragraphs seem to be very similar to the text from the Russian legislation I waded through a while back: http://asozd2.duma.gov.ru/main.nsf/%28Spravka%29?OpenAgent&RN=431985-6&02 via Alexander Krivenyshev in http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-July/021105.html I haven't checked to see that it matches, but I think we're pretty confident about the 2014 offsets. -- Tim Parenti On 16 October 2014 13:26, Eric M.

I've come across this website that lists the administrative areas that fall in each of the time zones (in Russian).

The commentary in the relevant portions of the 'europe' file attempts to detail the scope of each zone, in terms of the political subdivisions of Russia.
Back in August, Blake Crosby and I had a brief discussion about how to find good geometries for these subdivisions, but we hadn't found much. https://github.com/blakecrosby/tz-map/issues/1
Eric Muller has created shapefiles in the past for some versions of tz data. On his http://efele.net/maps/tz/russia/ page, he shares an "ingredients" file at http://efele.net/maps/tz/russia/tz_russia_ingredients.zip which may be of some use.

But it still needs help from people to update when changes do happen. The political boundaries do already exist, so normally it's just a matter of modifying relations to update things.
