There is currently a bill to change time in Volgograd oblast from
Moscow time to Moscow+1. The bill is the result of a local
referendum, so it will likely be passed into law. That would require
changing Europe/Volgograd from UTC+3 to UTC+4. Proposed change date
(2018-10-28) though looks too optimistic (publication of the law
before that date while still possible is unlikely) and will likely be
amended.
