Coverage Across Russia

The directory currently includes 16 cities in Russia. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.

Within this city set, Yakutsk is the furthest north and Vladivostok the furthest south, a latitude span of about 18.9°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.

Kaliningrad and Vladivostok are the east-west extremes represented here, about 111.4° of longitude apart. Longitude changes when the sun reaches local noon and the horizon, so one sunrise, sunset or prayer timetable should not be reused for every city.

The listed cities use 10 different IANA time zones. Choose the actual city when the local clock matters, especially around daylight-saving changes.
