All Russian zones are supposed to have by default a -1 change at
1991-03-31 2:00 (cancellation of the decree time in the USSR) and a +1
change at 1992-01-19 2:00 (restoration of the decree time in Russia).

There were some exceptions, though.
Wikipedia says newspapers listed Astrakhan, Saratov, Kirov, Volgograd,
Izhevsk, Grozny, Kazan and Samara as such exceptions for the 1992
change. (Different newspapers providing different lists. And some
lists found in the internet are quite wild.)

And apparently some exceptions were reverted in the last
moment. (http://www.kaliningradka.ru/site_pc/cherez/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=40091
says that Kaliningrad decided not to be an exception 2 days before the
1991-03-31 switch and one person at
http://izhevsk.ru/forum_light_message/50/682597-m8369040.html says he
remembers that Samara opted out of the 1992-01-19 exception 2 days
before the switch.)
