Thanks; any word yet on the other potential changes in Astrakhan (UTC+3 to

Although the Sakhalin change seems likely to happen, as far as I know it is not
official yet. See:
Russian Far-Eastern island may move its time one hour forwards. Tass 2015- 12-29.
I don't know about the Astrakhan change.
Last news about Sakhalin region that government has approved a draft law to change the time zone. Next step is to get approval by the State Duma (probably in January 2016). http://lenta.ru/news/2015/12/29/time/ As for the Astrakhan region- some news reports that the State Duma adopted Bill in the first reading. http://ria.ru/society/20151216/1343138125.html Alexander Krivenyshev (worldtimezone.com)
