There is yet another discrepancy between the list http://www.mark-itt.ru/Collection/Russia/tz_rus.html and the link http://wwg.lgg.ru/russia/reg65.html that the first list has Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on GMT+11 while the second link from Anton Star has Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on GMT+10. I have decided to trust the Anton Star list because it is very well built with a lot of details about many other issues of regional information, and all of those informations that I was able to cross-check came out true and correct (for instance population counters or flags of oblast's) and besides as Oscar points out some other information about Tajikistan etc. are apparently not correct on the first list.

From Paul Eggert:
Also, the two maps disagree about Ul'yanovskaya oblast' <http://wwg.lgg.ru/russia/reg73.html>, Altajskij kraj <http://wwg.lgg.ru/russia/reg22.html>, and Respublika Altaj <http://wwg.lgg.ru/russia/reg04.html>. Worldtimezone.com says the first is at UTC+4 and the other two at UTC+7; LGG.ru says UTC+3 and UTC+6 respectively.
In my email dated 2001-06-13 a couple of Russian language timezone lists are mentioned. These lists say: * Ul'yanovsk, in the Ul'yanovskaya oblast' - timezone Moswow + 1 (UTC+4 in winter) * Barnaul, in the Altajskij kraj - timezone Moscow +4 (UTC+7 in winter) * Gorno-Altaijsk, in the Respublika Altaj - timezone Moscow +4 (UTC+7 in winter) Worldtimezone.com gives the same information. See for one of those lists e.g. http://www.mark-itt.ru/Collection/Russia/tz_rus.html By the way, these lists say Azerbajdzhan, Kazakhstan, Tadzhikistan, Turkmeniya and Uzbekistan don't do DST. But, worldtimeserver.com says Azerbajdzhan and Kazakhstan (3 zones) do obey DST, while Tadzhikistan, Turkmeniya and Uzbekistan do not, which is the same information the tz-database gives. There is another discrepancy between lgg.ru and worldtimezone.com. According to lgg.ru the Arkhangel'skaya oblast' consists of the mainland part, the island Novaya Zemlya and the islet Kolguyev, all within the same timezone as Moscow. Worldtimezone however puts Kolguyev in the Moscow zone and Novaya Zemlya in the Moscow+1 zone. Hmmm, it's very difficult to get some definitive answers! Regards, Oscar van Vlijmen 2001-08-26
