The new proposal 431985-6 suggests moving the clock back one (1) hour for 
almost all regions (including Moscow). 
In some regions (Chita, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Sakha-Yakutia, Omsk, 
Birobidzhan, Orenburg, Perm, Ufa) the suggestion to turn clocks by two (2) 
hours back (-2 hours) would therefore force those regions to potentially 
change their time zones.

If approved, the new bill would take effect on October 26, 2014.
