The first message to the time zone mailing list on Kemerovo's time change was from
Alexander Krivenyshev on 2009-10-13; it appears in the "europe" file.
The message indicates that Kemerovo would switch to the "Novosibirsk Time Zone" which accounts for the abbreviation currently being used.

... given the time offset it could be either that, or NOVT that tzdata
currently have.  But Wikipedia lists Kemerovo under Omsk Time:
