Thanks for the heads-up. That notice says that they'll switch to Moscow Time at 2pm, which means they'd advance their clocks by an hour once at 01:00 UTC (03:00 local time) and once again at 14:00 local time. Do you think they'll really do that, or do you think that the notice or translation is incorrect and Crimea will simply advance the clocks by two hours at 01:00 UTC (03:00 local time)?
I think that translation was incorrect, as most of other news (in russian) http://ria.ru/world/20140317/999818828.html http://vz.ru/news/2014/3/17/677464.html says time change at 2:00 (2am) on March 30, 2014: "To establish across the Republic of Crimea the time standard in accordance with the third time zone with the time change at 2:00 on March 30, 2014, by moving the clock two hours forward" Alexander Krivenyshev, http://www.worldtimezone.com
