Are there sources and citations for these locations?

Web page https://aari.ru/en mentions: the research base Ice Cape Baranova, the Tiksi Hydrometeorological Observatory and the Russian Scientific Center on the Spitsbergen archipelago year‑round stations: Novolazarevskaya, Bellingshausen, Mirny, Progress and Vostok year‑round stations: Novolazarevskaya, Bellingshausen, Mirny, Progress and Vostok but any details are probably only mentions on the Russian pages. A lot of details are available on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_stations_in_Antarctica -- Take care.

Do they have Daylight Saving Time?

I suppose that’s the main question: how does the time shown on the wall at these stations differ from existing time zones, what is the history of the zone at each station, and how can it be verified. -- Doug Ewell, CC, ALB | Lakewood, CO, US | ewellic.org
