Daylight saving time

Russia's time zones change over to daylight saving time on dates in accordance with European Summer Time; moving clocks forward one hour at 02:00 local winter time on the last Sunday in March and back one hour at 03:00 local daylight time on the last Sunday in October. Russia does not follow the 01:00 UTC changeover rule for daylight saving.
