Krasnoyarsk Time

From HandWiki
Short description: Time zone in Russia (UTC+7)


Krasnoyarsk Time (KRAT) is the time zone seven hours ahead of UTC (00) and 4 hours ahead of Moscow Time (MSK+4). KRAT is the official time zone for central and east Siberian regions of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Kemerovo Oblast, Khakassia and Tuva.

Novosibirsk Oblast used this time zone until 1993, when it was known as Novosibirsk Time (NOVT/NOVST). The Russian government renamed the time zone shortly after Novosibirsk opted for another time zone instead.

Between 27 March 2011 and 25 October 2014, Krasnoyarsk Time was fixed at 00.[1]

In 2016, the Altai Republic,[2] Altai Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast,[3] and Tomsk Oblast,[4] switched to Krasnoyarsk Time from Omsk Time.
