That's what 'date +%z' is for.

Seriously, if there is a trend to abandon symbolic names, there is
probably no use inventing a name for the newborn Asia/Tomsk zone. As
can be seen from the map http://world-time-zones.ru/russia.htm
the history of Tomsk time is the process of oscillations between the
Omsk and Krasnoyarsk zones, so I suggest:


Zone    Asia/Tomsk       5:39:51 -      LMT     1919 Dec 22
