No, this article talks about a draft resolution (it used to be on
http://www.minpromtorg.gov.ru/ site, now you can find its copy at
http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_russia33.html), the final
edition neither transfers Primorsky Krai and the Irkutsk region nor
specifies the exact date and time of clock changes.
