Well AARI weekly publishes Antarctic events summaries here: 
https://www.aari.ru/press-center/news/rae .

But I am not sure if my case will be mentioned there.


 >Does "00:00" mean 00:00 local time, or 00:00 UTC?

My bad, sorry, I missed this point.

Local time, of course.


 >Has local time at Vostok been UTC+6 ever since 1957, or has it changed 
before?

No. At least since my antarctic career start, 10 years ago, Vostok base 
has UTC+7.
