It's been explained many times already that the TZ project is a technical one, not a political one, and the issue you raise is out of scope.<br>
<br>
Since you persist in bringing it up in spite of being corrected repeatedly, it may be time to consider your mail to be spam and filter it accordingly.<br>

This apparent discrepancy in reporting was discussed contemporaneously<br>
on-list and is already noted in commentary.<br>
<a href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-March/020814.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-March/020814.html</a><br>

<br>
Specifically:<br>
<br>
# Simferopol and Sevastopol reportedly changed their central town clocks<br>
> # late the previous day, but this appears to have been ceremonial<br>
> # and the discrepancies are small enough to not worry about.<br>
<br>
<br>
As it so happens, the RT article you linked confirms that particular<br>
perspective ? that the 22:00 transition was merely "ceremonial" and that<br>
the 02:00 transition was official ? more clearly than we had identified at<br>
the time. Quoting the article:<br>
<br>
?the hands of the main railway station clock in the city of Simferopol<br>
> jumped from 10 pm to 12 am on Saturday. [?] The ceremony follows the<br>
> region?s formal joining the Russian Federation on March 21. Other Crimeans,<br>
> apart from Simferopol, the region?s capital, were expected to switch their<br>
> clocks at 2:00 am on Sunday, AFP reported.<br>
<br>
<br>
It appears India's *Business Standard* also contemporaneously reported the<br>
same, at<br>
<a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/crimea-to-set-clocks-to-russia-time-114033000014_1.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/crimea-to-set-clocks-to-russia-time-114033000014_1.html</a><br>
:<br>
<br>
?a symbolic ceremony will be held to move the clocks forward at the railway<br>
> station in the main city of Simferopol. The Black Sea peninsula's prime<br>
> minister Sergei Aksyonov will oversee the switch at 10pm (midnight Moscow,<br>
> 2000 GMT). Europeans and ordinary Crimeans make the daylight savings time<br>
> switch at 2am tomorrow.<br>
<br>
<br>
Since the zone is meant to represent the region as a whole, and not<br>
necessarily one or two clocks in the town squares in the representative<br>
city, this is why we settled on 2014-03-30 02:00 for the transition.<br>

<br>
?? Right. This tells us that a timestamp for Simferopol in<br>
????? 2024-03-30 + [02..04[ h<br>
?? is not necessarily in error, and one in<br>
????? 2024-03-30 + [00..02[ h<br>
?? might be ambiguous.<br>
<br>
?? Perhaps the comment could be made more precise by saying<br>
?? that the ceremony in Simferopol was for a switch 4 hours<br>
?? earlier (I have not seen any evidence for a ceremony<br>
?? in Sevastopol).<br>

Let's leave it alone. Although I love clock trivia as much as the next <br>
guy we must draw the line somewhere, and increasing precision in <br>
commentary about about ceremonial clocks that were deliberately set <br>
incorrectly is not that helpful here.<br>
