google translator gone mad - translates ukrainian word 'bes' ("without") as 's' ("with") (i tried both translating into polish and eglish, both translations are opposite to what was in orginal). The decree from june 1990 do not mentions previous zone - just states that country moves to zone +2 GMT without addition of one hour (without DST) ie +2 GMT. with best regards Bogdan Krusiński
The information that I received from a person who speaks Russian is that the decree on 1 July 1990 does not specify clearly whether DST was in force so his translation suggests that the decree on 1 July 1990 is ambiguous regarding observance of DST, but the decree in September 1990 refers to leaving in force summer time. Here is the information about this from this person:
http://search.ligazakon.ua/l_doc2.nsf/link1/T001500.html This page says only that Ukraine adopted 2he as standard time on 1 July 1990. It says nothing about DST being in force or not, at that date.
It was clarified in September 1990 by the next law: * Ukrainian Government's Resolution of 21.09.1990, No. 272. http://search.ligazakon.ua/l_doc2.nsf/link1/KP900272.html (translation) "Leave in force "summer time" in the Ukrainian SSR and not move the clock 1 hour back on 30 September 1990." Before 1 July 1990: UTC+4 (Moscow Summer Decree time, i.e. Time zone 2 + 1h Decree + 1h DST) After 1 July 1990: UTC+3 (no Decree hour + Summer time, i.e. Time zone 2 + 1h DST) Notes: UTC+4 started on 25 March 1990. I do not speak Russian so I am just relaying this information. I hope it is helpful.
