About Moscow Standard Time (MSK)

Moscow Standard Time (MSK, IANA: Europe/Moscow) is the civil time of European Russia (west of the Ural Mountains) and the Russian capital, set at UTC+3:00 year-round. Russia abolished Daylight Saving Time in 2011 (initially staying permanently on UTC+4 summer time), then in 2014 the Russian Federation Council reverted the country to permanent standard time, with Moscow on UTC+3 year-round, so MSK has been observed without seasonal change since October 2014. Russia spans 11 time zones (UTC+2 Kaliningrad to UTC+12 Kamchatka), of which MSK is the most populous and the reference time for the federal government. MSK serves the European Russia population of ~110 million across the Central Federal District (Moscow oblast, Moscow city, surrounding oblasts), Northwestern Federal District (St. Petersburg + Leningrad oblast), Southern Federal District (Krasnodar, Rostov-na-Donu, Sochi), and Volga Federal District (Nizhny Novgorod). MSK is identical in offset to East Africa Time (EAT), Saudi Arabian Standard Time (AST-SA), and EEST in summer. Major MSK cities: Moscow (12.6M), Saint Petersburg (5.4M), Nizhny Novgorod (1.2M), Kazan (1.3M), Rostov-on-Don (1.1M), Sochi (450K). Affects: MOEX (Moscow Exchange) trading hours, Roscosmos Mission Control operations from Korolev, Bolshoi Theatre performance schedules.

About Central Africa Time (CAT)
