Thanks for the heads-up. My reading of the tea leaves (admittedly from a good distance away) is that it's significantly more likely for this change to be approved than disapproved, so a proposed patch is attached and I installed this into the development version on GitHub.
Do you happen to know approximately when the change might be approved? We could do a tzdb release soon after official approval.
According official State Duma web site, Nov 30, 2020 is the deadline for submitting amendments within 7 days from the date of adoption of the resolution (Nov 24, 2020 - Bill was approved by the State Duma in the first reading). I will continue to monitor the progress of the Bill and will let you know. My guess that it will happen quickly as implementation date is Dec 20, 2020. Cheers Alexander Krivenyshev WorldTimeZone.com
