If the map in http://wwg.lgg.ru/russia/timezone.html is correct, it seems to me that the GMT+6 region (or Moscow+3 if you like) is bigger to the south than most timezone maps of Russia I have come across until now. I assume this is what Oscar is referring to as "Respublika Altaj" and "Altajskij kraj". I attach a GIF file of this area as seen in World Time Explorer. Is it correct to conclude that the cities Rubtsovsk, Barnaul and Bijsk are all on GMT+6, not on GMT+7?

I have had the following information regarding Sakha This is very useful! Thanks.
[Also the map at http://wwg.lgg.ru/russia/timezone.html ] I converted the image map code on this web page to a list (below) and transliterated the Russian names for those who want to do further research.
Please note that there are some conflicts between this timezone map and earlier information about the regions we investigated between 2001-06-10 and 2001-06-19 (cf. tz email archive). Seems that there are a bit too many regions in the Moscow timezone, according to Anton Star/lgg.ru. The following list is sorted by Moscow-offset and then by the names of the regions without the respublika, oblast' etc, in the order of the Russian alphabet. Transliteration scheme: Chemical Abstracts, the most readable transliteration - with the exception: ' is a soft sign, which should have been transliterated to the less email compatible '.
