Omsk used to have its own time zone- MSK+3,
Novosibirsk, Kemerovo and Krasnoyarsk used time zone- MSK+4 ...
In 1993- Novosibirsk moved to Omsk time zone:
Omsk and Novosibirsk- MSK+3 (UTC+6) , Kemerovo stay in Krasnoyarsk time zone-
MSK+4 (UTC+7).
In 2010- Kemerovo also moved to Omsk and Novosibirsk time zone- MSK+3(UTC+6).
Right now all 3 cities: Omsk, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo use the same time zone
MSK+3 (UTC+6) (which could as listed as Omsk time zone, or Novosibirsk time
zone).
Krasnoyarsk use time zone MSK+4 (UTC+7).
Time zones in Russia are in transition (revision) as of now- It won't be
surprise that additional changes for many time zones in Russia will happened
this fall (during transition from Summer time to Standard time).
