In reply to: Tobias Conradi tobias.conradi at gmail.com Thu May 3 15:02:15 UTC 2012 First I suggest to change "[This region consists of]" as e.g. in ! # From Oscar van Vlijmen (2001-08-25): [This region consists of] to "[This zone consists of]" since I assume "region" here refers to the tzdb zone. Second I suggest to A) either use the names of the country subdivisions as in the Wikipedia article names...... etc., etc. Reply: With respect, but you can do whatever you want, TZ can do whatever they want, I don't care, but my advice would be: just stick as close as you can get (with a reasonable transliteration) to the official region names, as stated in the law regarding time zones, to be foud at: http://www.garant.ru/hotlaw/federal/346568/ (in Russian).
