Russia to return to permanent winter time
Russia’s Federation Council upper house of parliament has approved a law on the country’s return to permanent winter time this coming October. Daylight-saving time, or summertime all-year round, looks to have had its day, ITAR-TASS reports.
Clocks will go back one hour across the vast land from 2 a.m. on October 26, consigning to history the hands of time in a system currently set as summer 12 months long.
Upper house parliamentary lawmakers voted near-unanimous for colleague Anton Belyakov's initiative on Wednesday.
