Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time difference between MSK and UTC?

During standard time, Coordinated Universal Time is 3 hours behind Moscow Standard Time.

Does Russia observe Daylight Saving Time?

Russia abolished Daylight Saving Time entirely in 2014, settling permanently on standard time after a contentious experiment with year-round summer time that began in 2011. Moscow Standard Time has remained fixed at UTC+03:00 ever since, with no seasonal clock changes of any kind.

Are MSK and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) the same?

During summer, countries observing Eastern European Time — including Ukraine, Romania, and Greece — shift to EEST at UTC+03:00, which numerically matches MSK exactly. However, MSK holds at UTC+03:00 year-round, while EEST is a temporary designation that reverts to UTC+02:00 when those countries return to standard time each autumn.
