A quote from the 'europe' file:

# Novosibirskaya oblast'.
Zone Asia/Novosibirsk	 5:31:40 -	LMT	1919 Dec 14 6:00
			 6:00	-	NOVT	1930 Jun 21 # Novosibirsk

# From Oscar van Vlijmen (2001-08-25): [This region consists of]
# Kemerovskaya oblast', Krasnoyarskij kraj,
# Tajmyrskij (Dolgano-Nenetskij) avtonomnyj okrug, Tomskaya oblast',
# Respublika Tuva, Respublika Khakasiya, Evenkijskij avtonomnyj okrug.
Zone Asia/Krasnoyarsk	 6:11:20 -	LMT	1920 Jan  6
			 6:00	-	KRAT	1930 Jun 21 # Krasnoyarsk
Time
			 7:00	Russia	KRA%sT	1991 Mar 31 2:00s
			 6:00	Russia	KRA%sT	1992 Jan 19 2:00s
			 7:00	Russia	KRA%sT

In fact, it seems that Tomsk city and Tomskaya oblast' is part of the
Novosibirsk timezone, see

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomskaya_Oblast%27%2C_Russia  and
http://www.admin.tomsk.ru/1024

... the latter, if you don't understand russian, look at the time under the
green horse.

I don't know if this simply means that Tomskaya oblast' changed timezone
since 2001, which is a possibility, that would then require a new timezone.
