The latest 2011i tzdata does not have the Russian time change described by Alexander Krivenyshev: "DRAFT DECISION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF Russian Federation... Does anyone know the current status of what was a draft decision at the time of Alexander's report? After some extensive media reports that 3 Russian regions may change time zones this autumn and FIRST DRAFT DECISION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF Russian Federation on August 8, 2011 about upcoming changes on October 30, 2011: see link below: (http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_russia33.html)
there were some corrections done on August 25, 2011 on DRAFT DECISION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF Russian Federation "On the composition of the territories that make up each time zone, and the procedure of calculation of time within time zones, and the repeal of certain resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation", which shows NO time zones changes at this point for Vladivostok (Primorsky region), Irkutsk region and Sakha (Yakutia) will keep its current 3 time zones (MSK +6, +7, +8):
1. Vladivostok (Primorsky region) – will keep MSK+7 (UTC+11)
2. Sakha (Yakutia) – will keep its current 3 time zones: MSK+6 (UTC+10), MSK+7 (UTC+11), MSK+8 (UTC+12) and
3. Irkutsk region – will keep MSK+5 (UTC+9)
