Russia (and ex-SU) not use any labels for time zones in civil live,
all labels comes from computers.
In civil live few sentences used to describe this thing, like:
1) "Raznica s Moskvoy n chasov" - difference from Moscow is n hours
2) "Mestnoe vremya" - local time
3) "Moskovskoe vremya" - Moscow time
4) "<n>skoe vremya" - city <n> time
