Thanks for the heads-up. It looks like we'll need a new zone
Europe/Astrakhan, split off from the existing Europe/Volgograd. Will the
new zone will switch from UTC+3 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00, to UTC+4? This
detail is not in the above URL.
In the tz database, rather than give the new zone an invented
abbreviation like "ASTT" that does not correspond to existing practice,
I'd like to get out of the name-inventing business and just use "+04".
Yes, the switch will take into effect at 02:00am on 2016-03-27 Here is the link to the bill for the third reading- Project № 862646-6 (the Health Protection Committee of the State Duma) http://asozd2.duma.gov.ru/work/dz.nsf/ByID/5AEBD1A341D2B41843257F47003949EF/ $File/%D0%A2%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81%D1%82%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82% D0%B0_%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%8C%D0%B5%20%D1%87%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8% D0%B5.doc?OpenElement Google translation of the above document: Article 1 Write in part 1 of Article 5 of the Federal Law of June 3, 2011 № 107- FZ "On the Calculation of Time" (Collection of legislation of the Russian Federation, 2011, № 23, Article 3247;.
