Chita, Russia - general information

The duration of an earthly day is determined by the time it takes the Earth to rotate around its axis, and is 24 hours. The consequence of the rotation of the Earth is both the change of day and night, and the fact that when moving from west to east at 15 ° longitude, local solar time, determined by the apparent position of the Sun, increases by 1 hour.
In everyday life, official local time is used, which differs to a greater or lesser extent from solar time. The entire surface of the Earth is divided into time zones (in other terminology - time zones). Within the same time zone, the same time is used. The boundaries of time zones are determined by considerations of convenience and, as a rule, coincide with interstate or administrative boundaries. The time difference between neighboring time zones is usually one hour, although in some cases the time in neighboring time zones differs by two or more hours. There is also a time shift of 30 or 45 minutes.
For most countries, the entire territory of the country is within the same time zone. The territory of countries stretching from west to east for a considerable distance, such as Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil and a number of others, is usually divided into several time zones. The exception is China, throughout which Peking time is used.
The reference point for determining the time zone offset in time is Coordinated Universal Time or UTC. UTC corresponds to mean solar time at the zero or Greenwich meridian. Time zone offsets from UTC range from UTC-12:00 to UTC+14:00.
Almost all countries in Europe and North America, as well as a number of other countries, set their clocks forward an hour in the spring, to summer time, and in the fall, one hour back, to winter time. The offset of the respective time zones from UTC changes twice a year. However, most countries in the world do not practice such a clock change.

Adopted in the second and third readings the law, according to which the Trans-Baikal Territory will belong to the 8th time zone and, thus, the clock hands in the region will be moved one hour ahead.

The amendments were introduced by the Legislative Assembly of the Trans-Baikal Territory.

The project on changing the time zone of the Astrakhan region passed the first readingResidents of the Astrakhan region complain about the reduction of productive daylight hours, the growth of payments for electricity consumption and sleep disturbance, in connection with which on March 27, 2016 in the region it is proposed to move the hour hand one hour forward.

In October 2014, Russia switched to permanent winter time. It was assumed that more time in the country will not change. Time in the Trans-Baikal Territory has shifted two hours ago. Transbaikalia, like Buryatia and the Irkutsk region, was assigned to the 7th time zone (Moscow time plus 5 hours, UTC + 8).

The law adopted on Tuesday provides that the inhabitants of Transbaikalia on March 27, 2016 will move the hands one hour ahead. The authors of the amendments believe that this will increase the daylight hours effectively used by the population of the region, eliminate the negative impact of the existing time on the health of Transbaikalians, which in general will positively affect the economy of the region.

The authors of the law pointed out that the time zone in which Transbaikalia now lives does not correspond to the natural biological rhythms of a person, "who tends to be active during the daytime and rest in the dark."

According to them, the onset of dawn in Transbaikalia in the summer at 3 o'clock causes an interruption of physiologically normal sleep, shatters the nervous and immune systems of the body. An increase in the number of patients with heart attacks and strokes, an increase in the prevalence of mental disorders, an increase in the number of accidents, including those associated with road accidents, has been recorded, the authors explain.

In addition, regional deputies pay attention to the economic factor. According to them, in connection with the early onset of the dark time of the day, there is an increase in the consumption of electricity by the inhabitants of the region. According to the regional dispatching department of the Trans-Baikal Energy System, residents began to consume electricity by 5% more.

Communist Party deputy Vladimir Pozdnyakov proposed to change the clock in the region not on March 27, but on March 8, thus making a gift to the women of the region for the holiday. The profile committee did not support this amendment, noting that in the Russian Federation a clock change system had previously developed - on the last Sunday of March and the last Sunday of October.

State Duma Deputy Vladimir Pozdnyakov at a press conference on December 17 said that at a meeting of the Committee on Health of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, it was decided on March 27 to return the former time zone to the Trans-Baikal Territory

“We have defended our interests. At yesterday's meeting of the Health Committee in the State Duma, I proposed setting the time change for March 8 as a gift to Transbaikal women, but it was decided to set it for March 27," Pozdnyakov specified.

According to Pozdnyakov, initially he was instructed to lobby the bill in the State Duma, but after Nikolai Govorin became a deputy, these powers were transferred to him.

Recall that in November the Russian government approved a bill on changing time zones in the Astrakhan region and in the Trans-Baikal Territory.

The bills propose to change the composition of the territories that form time zones by excluding the Astrakhan region from the second time zone (Moscow time) and assigning it to the third time zone (Moscow time plus one hour). And by excluding the Trans-Baikal Territory from the seventh time zone (Moscow time plus five hours) and assigning it to the eighth time zone (Moscow time plus six hours).

Moving the hands one hour ahead in these regions, follows from the conclusion of the government, "will lead to an increase in the total daylight hours effectively used by the population in the evening from 18:00 to 23:00".
The Russian government supports both bills.

"Winter time" was canceled in Russia in 2011 at the initiative of Dmitry Medvedev, who at that time served as president. At the same time, nine time zones were established.

For three years, summer time was constantly operating in Russia, advancing astronomical time by two hours. But on July 1, 2014, the State Duma adopted a bill to return to winter time. On July 9, this document was approved by the Federation Council. And on July 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed it. 11 time zones reappeared in Russia. The law on the transition to winter time excluded the further seasonal transfer of arrows to summer time.

The State Duma adopted a law transferring the Trans-Baikal Territory from the seventh to the eighth time zone. Thus, the time difference with Moscow increases to six hours. The switchover is scheduled for March 27, 2016, TASS reports.

Transbaikalia ended up in the seventh time zone in 2014. Residents of the region were not happy with the innovation. When the time was moved back two hours on the night of October 26, 2014, it turned out that the dawn in the summer time had shifted to three in the morning, while it was already getting dark at eight in the evening.

Initially, the deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Trans-Baikal Territory pointed out that the changes allowed the region to get closer to the correct astronomical time and this is ideal for working citizens and students. However, by the end of the summer of 2014, legislators changed their minds and asked the State Duma to return the eighth time zone.

The deputies pointed out that while the time in Chita corresponded to the time in Irkutsk, an increase in the number of strokes, heart attacks, mental disorders, accidents, including road accidents, was recorded in the region. According to the data of the regional dispatching department of the Trans-Baikal energy system, the Trans-Baikal residents began to consume electricity by 5% more, it was noted in the explanatory note.

Ordinary citizens expressed their dissatisfaction, demanding that the authorities "return the sun to children." The deprived children drew drawings on a topical topic, which were then sent to the governor of the region and the president of the Russian Federation, while adults staged pickets, the Zabmedia publication reported. Also, a number of petitions and appeals were initiated regarding the change in the time zone.

In November 2014, over a thousand people gathered in Chita to protest against the clock change. The protesters noted that the actions of the authorities provoked economic, social and domestic inconveniences in Transbaikalia: starting with increased consumption of electricity, continuing with difficulties in harvesting at the end of daylight hours and ending with colds for children returning from school when the daytime temperature is already significantly reduced. And in December, Transbaikalians gathered like-minded people to celebrate the New Year at 23:00 instead of midnight.

In 2014, after a three-year break, Russia returned to "winter" time - the clocks in most regions of the Russian Federation were moved back an hour. Now Moscow time corresponds to the third time zone in the national time scale UTC + 3; previously UTC+4 was in effect.

Seasonal time transfers were banned, 11 time zones were established in the country, the largest of them is Moscow, which also includes Crimea and Sevastopol, which became new subjects of the Russian Federation in the spring of 2014.

Five regions where the clock was not translated changed the time zone: Udmurtia, Samara Region, Kemerovo Region, Kamchatka Territory and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. In the State Duma, which adopted the bill, they said that in the discussion about the time in Russia, this was "completely put an end to."

"Winter" time was canceled in the fall of 2011 on the initiative of Dmitry Medvedev, who then held the post of President of the Russian Federation. In the spring of 2011, Russia switched to "summer" time, and the clock was not changed in the fall.
