Calculation of Time" (in Russia) and adopted a law abolishing the transition to 
daylight saving time.

Bill itself does not mentioned anything about daylight saving time, however 
Article 10 repealed the law «On regulation of calculating time on the territory 
of the Russian Federation" from October 23, 1991 № 1790-I, which defines 
introduction of Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time) in Russia.
