<p>To me it seems that an extra zone is needed, which starts with
LMT util 1919, later follows Moscow since 1930, but deviates from
it between 1 October 1981 until 1 April 1982.</p>
<p>I suggest to call this zone Europe/Yaroslavl, because Yaroslavl
with a population of 608'000 seems to be largest city in the
deviating area.<br>
