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.
