Hello IANA team,

This is Mengzhe Hu from Juniper Networks Advanced TAC.

Here we are importing the IANA Time Zone Database to Junos referring to the two pages below:
Juniper page:http://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos13.3/topics/task/configuration/time-zone-custom-configuring.html
IANA page: http://www.iana.org/time-zones

But from the latest tzdata-latest.tar.gz<ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tzdata-latest.tar.gz> , we can't find the corresponding change reflecting the Moscow, Russia government time zone change.
Please refer to the following page:
http://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/russia/moscow


We have done the following tests using your latest database:

      First I compiled new tzdata downloaded from iana.org and added use-imported-time-zones command in configuration.
      After i run my test.
      Set date to Oct 26 01:59 a.m. and waited for 02:00a.m.
      At that point time must be moved back to 01:00a.m. but it doesn't happen.

Please look into the issue with high priority because the timezone change will happen in Oct 26th which is 6 days from now.
