Thanks, that refers to an older article I hadn't seen, with the following gem about Medvedev's 2011 change to Russia's timekeeping: "To reflect Medvedev time, Muscovites had to set their smartphones to Baku or Yerevan time zones — a politically uncomfortable gesture for some." The source for that quote: Gessen M. Will Russia Turn Back the Clock? New York Times 2012-10-01. http://latitude.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/01/will-russia-restore-daylight-sa...
