Russia's Time Zones

A Russian lawmaker has proposed that Russia's far eastern time zone be modified so that instead of being seven hours ahead of Moscow, it would be a mere four. The current seven hour difference between the post city of Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean and Moscow causes difficulty in communication as the working day in Moscow begins as it ends in Vladivostok. It is not known if overall time zone changes would be made to the vast country. There is an eleven hour difference in Russia between Kamchatka in the east and Kaliningrad in the west.
