Hi,

 

The latest 2011i tzdata does not have the Russian time change described by Alexander Krivenyshev:

 

“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 on August 8, 2011”

 

On October 30, 2011, at 02:00 local time the following new time calculations

will be applied:

 

Irkutsk region will use the 5th Russian time zone (MSK +4)

Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) will use the 7th Russian time zone (MSK +6)

Primorsky Krai (Vladivostok) will use the 7th Russian time zone (MSK +6)”

 

It is not clear to me what’s the exact impact for these additional changes to the original proposal .  I have summarized what I think are the changes in the table below, could someone verify?

Essentially, GMT+9, GMT+11 and GMT+12 are entirely eliminated.  Please confirm the above changes.

 

Also based on the tzdata2011i, would the following changes apply?
