That's what 'date +%z' is for.
Seriously, if there is a trend to abandon symbolic names, there is
probably no use inventing a name for the newborn Asia/Tomsk zone. As
can be seen from the map http://world-time-zones.ru/russia.htm
the history of Tomsk time is the process of oscillations between the
Omsk and Krasnoyarsk zones, so I suggest:
Zone Asia/Tomsk 5:39:51 - LMT 1919 Dec 22
6:00 - OMST 1930 Jun 21
7:00 Russia OMS%sT 1991 Mar 31 2:00s
6:00 Russia OMS%sT 1992 Jan 19 2:00s
7:00 Russia OMS%sT 2002 May 1 3:00
6:00 Russia OMS%sT 2011 Mar 27 2:00s
7:00 - OMST 2014 Oct 26 2:00s
6:00 - OMST 2016 May 29 2:00s
7:00 - KRAT
