Russia is the world's largest country by land area and spans 11 official time zones, from UTC+2 in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea to UTC+12 in Kamchatka and Chukotka in the Far East. While the country officially observes 11 different UTC offsets, the IANA Time Zone Database defines 15 distinct Russian time zones to account for historical and regional differences. For example:

  • Novosibirsk (NOVT) and Krasnoyarsk (KRAT) are both UTC+7.
  • Magadan (MAGT), Sakhalin (SAKT) and Srednekolymsk (SRET) are all UTC+11.
  • Anadyr (ANAT) and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (PETT) are both UTC+12.

Since 2014, Russia has not observed Daylight Saving Time (DST), so all Russian time zones remain on the same UTC offset throughout the year. This table lists the principal time zones, representative cities, and official abbreviations used across Russia.
