That is mainly because they have different governments. It is the government that controls a local area that determines in what time zone the local area will go. Also, countries that span more than 15° of longitude are likely to be divided between/among more than one time zone, but since it is up to the government, that is not always the case.
Russia has 9 different time zones, 8 contiguous and another one in Kaliningrad.
At any given time, the clocks around the world are set to at least 38 different times, and these time zones have about 165 different names, including about 130 different names just for Standard Time designations.
Russia has nine time zones spanning two continents.
This statement is false. Russia itself never covered 11 time zones. Only when the Soviet Union existed, then it was 11 zones. Currently Russia spans 9 time zones.
Russia will have eleven time zones beginning on the 26th of October 2014.
