# As described below, Russia's 2014 change affects Zone data, not Rule data.
+ # From Stepan Golosunov (2016-03-07):
+ # Wikipedia and other sources refer to the Act of the Council of
+ # Ministers of the USSR from 1988-01-04 No. 5 and the Act of the
+ # Council of Ministers of the USSR from 1989-03-14 No. 227.
+ #
+ # I did not find full texts of these acts. For the 1989 one we have
+ # title at http://base.garant.ru/70754136/ :
+ # "About change in calculation of time on the territories of
+ # Lithuanian SSR, Latvian SSR and Estonian SSR, Astrakhan,
+ # Kaliningrad, Kirov, Kuybyshev, Ulyanovsk and Uralsk oblasts".
+ # And http://astrozet.net/files/Zones/DOC/RU/1980-925.txt appears to
+ # contain quotes from both acts: Since last Sunday of March 1988 rules
+ # of the second time belt are installed in Volgograd and Saratov
+ # oblasts. Since last Sunday of March 1989:
+ # a) Lithuanian SSR, Latvian SSR, Estonian SSR, Kaliningrad oblast:
+ # second time belt rules without extra hour (Moscow-1);
+ # b) Astrakhan, Kirov, Kuybyshev, Ulyanovsk oblasts: second time belt
+ # rules (Moscow time)
+ # c) Uralsk oblast: third time belt rules (Moscow+1).
+
# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2011-06-14):
# According to Kremlin press service, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
# signed a federal law "On calculation of time" on June 9, 2011.
# According to the law Russia is abolishing daylight saving time.

+ # ... says that since 1990-05-06 on the territory of the Moldavian SSR

# A previous version of this database followed Shanks & Pottenger, who write

# However, this is most likely an error, as Moldova declared independence

+ # The second Nauka i Zhizn article says that in addition to

+ #
+ # The affected territories are currently listed under Europe/Moscow,

+ #
+ # 12. Udmurtia
+ # The fact that Udmurtia is depicted as a violator in the Nauka i

+ #
+ # There were some exceptions, though.
+ # Wikipedia says newspapers listed Astrakhan, Saratov, Kirov, Volgograd,
