In 2011, Russia moved to year-round daylight saving time. Instead of switching between UTC 05:00 in winter and UTC 06:00 in summer, Yekaterinburg time was set to UTC 06:00 until 2014, when it was reset back to UTC 05:00 year-round.[1]
The time zone applies to the Ural Federal District, and Bashkortostan, Orenburg Oblast and Perm Krai in the Volga Federal District.[2]
