Belarus abolishes DST

[Alexander Bokovoy]

Hello!

Moving towards unification with Russia on economical reasons, Republic 
of Belarus has announced today to cancel daylight saving time rule and 
don't rewind clocks on last Sunday of October.

Here is the news (in Russian):

The decree is N1229 by Belarussian government, dated 2011-09-15, 
unfortunately, not yet published on pravo.by so I can't reference it.

If I'm not mistaken, the change would make Europe/Minsk zone look 
like:
