How the time zones of Russia are laid out
Russia has 11 time zones, from UTC+2 (Kaliningrad) to UTC+12 (Kamchatka and Chukotka). Ten of them cover contiguous land; only Kaliningrad is an exclave. Since 2014 the country no longer changes its clocks: Moscow time is UTC+3 all year, so the difference to Brasília does not change through the year.
What the numbers say about Russia
- IANA identifiers for the country: 26, which boil down to 11 distinct clock rules.
- Different times today: 11 (UTC+2, UTC+3, UTC+4, UTC+5, UTC+6, UTC+7, UTC+8, UTC+9, UTC+10, UTC+11, UTC+12).
- Compared with Brasília: 11 ahead, 0 at the same time and 0 behind.
- No zone changes its clocks during the year, so the difference to Brasília stays stable.
