It looks like data taken from Milne 1899 are not correct
enough for 1919.
Data by Byalokoz E.L. are slightly different. I think they
are reliable, because
in 1919 he was a president of
the Russian Committee of Standard Time.
The difference may result from the new standard that was
accepted in Russia
on Jul 3, 1916.
