The Russian government has decided to remove two of its eleven timezones, in the country's first step towards time reform, first started by president Dmitry Medvedev last November.
The affected regions were Chukotka and Kamchatka, the easternmost provinces of Russia; Kemerovo, which had been keeping different time than most of its neighbors; and Samara and Udmurtia, which are now on Moscow time. Each of these regions was moved back an hour.
The changes were implemented on Saturday night, when most of the country was due to put their country ahead for summer time; however, affected areas instead didn't change their clocks at all.
