  # Russia

+ # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2011-09-15): 
+ # Based on last Russian Government Decree # 725 on August 31, 2011
+ # (Government document
+ # 
+ # http://www.government.ru/gov/results/16355/print/
+ # 
+ # in Russian)
+ # there are few corrections have to be made for some Russian time zones...
+ # All updated Russian Time Zones were placed in table and translated to English
+ # by WorldTimeZone.com at the link below:
+ # 
+ # http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_russia36.htm
+ # 
+ 
+ # From Sanjeev Gupta (2011-09-27):
+ # Scans of [Decree #23 of January 8, 1992] are available at:
+ # 
+ # http://government.consultant.ru/page.aspx?1223966
+ # They are in Cyrillic letters (presumably Russian).
+ 
+ # From Arthur David Olson (2012-05-09):
+ # Regarding the instant when clocks in time-zone-shifting parts of Russia
+ # changed in September 2011:
+ #
+ # One source is
+ # < a href="http://government.ru/gov/results/16355/>
+ # http://government.ru/gov/results/16355/
+ # 
+ # which, according to translate.google.com, begins "Decree of August 31,
+ # 2011 No 725" and contains no other dates or "effective date" information.
+ #
+ # Another source is
+ # 
+ # http://www.rg.ru/2011/09/06/chas-zona-dok.html
+ # 
+ # which, according to translate.google.com, begins "Resolution of the
+ # Government of the Russian Federation on August 31, 2011 N 725" and also
+ # contains "Date first official publication: September 6, 2011 Posted on:
+ # in the 'RG' - Federal Issue number 5573 September 6, 2011" but which
+ # does not contain any "effective date" information.
+ #
+ # Another source is
+ # 
+ # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oymyakonsky_District#cite_note-RuTime-7
+ # 
+ # which, in note 8, contains "Resolution #725 of August 31, 2011...
+ # Effective as of after 7 days following the day of the official publication"
+ # but which does not contain any reference to September 6, 2011.
+ #
+ # The Wikipedia article refers to
+ # 
+ # http://base.consultant.ru/cons/cgi/online.cgi?req=doc;base=LAW;n=118896
+ # 
+ # which seems to copy the text of the government.ru page.
+ #
+ # Tobias Conradi combines Wikipedia's
+ # "as of after 7 days following the day of the official publication"
+ # with www.rg.ru's "Date of first official publication: September 6, 2011" to get
+ # September 13, 2011 as the cutover date (unusually, a Tuesday, as Tobias Conradi notes).
+ #
+ # None of the sources indicates a time of day for changing clocks.
+ #
+ # Go with 2011-09-13 0:00s.
+ 
  # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
  # Except for Moscow after 1919-07-01, I invented the time zone abbreviations.
  # Moscow time zone abbreviations after 1919-07-01, and Moscow rules after 1991,
