Do you have a public announcement on the web, or some other source, that we can cite? Well AARI weekly publishes Antarctic events summaries here: https://www.aari.ru/press-center/news/rae .
But I am not sure if my case will be mentioned there.
Does "00:00" mean 00:00 local time, or 00:00 UTC?
My bad, sorry, I missed this point. Local time, of course.
Has local time at Vostok been UTC+6 ever since 1957, or has it changed before?
No. At least since my antarctic career start, 10 years ago, Vostok base has UTC+7. 19.12.2023 05:35, Paul Eggert пишет:

Pse be informed that from December, 18, 2023 00:00 by my decision the local time of the Antarctic research base Vostok will correspond to UTC+5.
Thank you for the information. Do you have a public announcement on the web, or some other source, that we can cite?

I ask these questions because any TZDB changes will be after the fact, so we can take the time to be careful about the changes. (Please see [1] for why it's better to give advance notice about changes like this.)
Thanks.
