How to prove that Volgograd (Russia) is in the same timezone as Moscow? Well now, I have tried some more search phrases and found at last a couple of Russian pages with lists of all major Russian cities. It seems that there are only let's say one or two originals and many copies of them at several sites. I found the following URLs. http://www.bereg.ru/sprav_info/inform/time.shtml http://newhouse.ru/help/timezone.html http://real.businesstime.ru/trip/sprav/timez.html http://www.mark-itt.ru/Collection/Russia/tz_rus.html and more with the same list. The table heading appearing in most lists reads (literally) translated: Table of corrections of time of cities of the Russian Federation and of states of neighbouring foreign countries relative to the city of Moscow. All lists tell us that Volgograd is in the same timezone as Moscow (UTC+3). But also Saratov and very likely the whole Saratovskaya oblast' is in the Moscow timezone! Ul'yanovsk, Samara and Astrakhan' are in UTC+4 according to these lists. Oscar van Vlijmen 13-Jun-2001
