When Russia established its first standard time zones in 1880, the Moscow zone was only 20 seconds behind Moscow Mean Time at GMT+2:30. Several times since then Russia and the Soviet Union have experimented with various standard times for Moscow, Summer Time (as it is called in most places that use it), and even Double Summer Time. The last time they discontinued the spring-forward-fall-back routine was on the 27th of March 2011, when they advanced their clocks and stayed there. After many complaints, the Russian government finally authorized an end to the "permanent" Summer Time effective October 2014. So Russia does not currently practice Summer Time, and Moscow Time (MSK) is currently UTC + 3 hours.
Here is a rough history of standard time in Moscow:
- 1880-1915 : GMT+2:30
- 1916 : GMT+2:30 ==> GMT+2:30:48
- 1917 : GMT+2:30:48/GMT+3:30:48
- 1918 : GMT+2:30:48 ==> GMT+4:30:48 ==> GMT+3:30:48
- 1919 : GMT+3:30:48 ==> GMT+4:30:48 ==> GMT+4 ==> GMT+3
- 1920 : GMT+3
- 1921 : GMT+3 ==> GMT+4 ==> GMT+5 ==> GMT+4 ==> GMT+3
- 1922 : GMT+3 ==> GMT+2
- 1923-1929 : GMT+2
- 1930 : GMT+2 ==> GMT+3
- 1931-1980 : GMT+3 ==> UTC+3
- 1981-1990 : UTC+3/UTC+4
- 1991 : UTC+3 ==> UTC+2
- 1992 : UTC+2 ==> UTC+3/UTC+4
- 1993-2010 : UTC+3/UTC+4
- 2011 : UTC+3 ==> UTC+4
- 2012-2013 : UTC+4
- 2014 : UTC+4 ==> UTC+3
