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 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, IANA: America/New_York during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EST, set at UTC-4:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the US Energy Policy Act of 2005. EDT shares the same UTC offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST — observed year-round in Canadian Maritimes Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/PEI and in Caribbean Puerto Rico/USVI/Bermuda) and as Bolivia/Chile/Paraguay Standard Time. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 EDT in March is the largest single coordinated time change in human history, affecting ~150 million US East Coast residents simultaneously per US Census. Florida passed the Sunshine Protection Act in 2018 attempting to stay on EDT year-round, but it required US Congressional approval (US Code 15 §260a) which has not been granted as of 2024. EDT affects: US Federal Government tax-filing deadlines (IRS Form 1040 due 23:59 EDT on April 15), NFL Sunday Night Football scheduling, and US Supreme Court oral-argument schedules in DC.
