Let's see if I've got a handle on the Russian areas of interest:
Place Decree #725 tzdata211j Notes Bulunskij MSK+6 MSK+7 covered by Asia/Vladivostok
According to http://www.garant.ru/hotlaw/federal/346568/ "7-я часовая зона - московское время плюс 6 часов. .... Булунский ...." whole Bulunskij is in MSK+6. Sources for the borders of Bulunskij: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%B4%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%8... or English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_the_Sakha_Republic both use the same map which shows Bulunskij as including the New Siberian Islands. According to http://efele.net/maps/tz/russia/ 2011b the area shown as Bulunskij in Wikipedia is separated between Asia/Yakutsk MSK+6 and Asia/Vladivostok MSK+7. If that is true the change includes for Bulunskij only the island part. That's why I proposed NEW Asia/Khandyga containing Bulunsky (parts), Tomponsky, Ust-Maysky which I would change to NEW Asia/Khandyga containing Bulunsky (only New Siberian Islands), Tomponsky, Ust-Maysky But this might be wrong, my assumption of current zone borders was only based on the efele map. I will forward this to Eric Muller who is the efele.net owner. In the file "europe" I see no indication that the raion is currently observing two offsets. -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com/tobias_conradi
