Daylight Saving Time in Russia

Daylight Saving Time - this is a special time determination system, adopted in Russia since 1930.It lies in the fact that the calculation is added to the waist another sixty minutes.

This project was adopted by the Council of People's Commissars to complete the work in the daytime and energy savings.Daylight Saving Time was canceled in February 1991, but then again came into force in January 1992.Once again, it was canceled in March 2011.

Daylight Saving Time is still a force in the territory of some countries of the former USSR.

Since 1917, Russia had decided to switch to "summer" time, and then return to the "winter".This return arrow back one hour, it was abolished in 1930.As a result, there was a so-called standard time, advancing waist.

the spring of 1981 on the territory of the former Soviet Union introduced a new time which outpaced the waist is no longer one and two hours.It was restored a return to "winter" calculus, which was carried out by converting the arrows back one hour in the fall.

In 2011, in connection with the abolition of transition to winter time, repeat the situation on the 30th of the last century.Only the actual time is ahead of the lap is now two hours.

But this innovation is not applicable to all regions of the Russian Federation.So, now in Western Siberia, Kamchatka and in some other regions was added to the standard time is only one hour.And in the Nenets Autonomous District, Komi Republic, Chukotka time corresponds to the waist.This confusion has arisen as a result of the displacement to the east boundaries of time zones in Russia since 1992.

According to some scholars, the fact that the calculation used ahead of time by two hours explaining a negative impact on the health of many people.

This is a violation of the natural rhythms of the body.In addition, the reduction of daylight can lead to depression in adults and children.

But people working on the schedule from 9 am to 6 pm, as well as students attending extra classes will not see daylight at all.

According to other researchers, such a measure, on the contrary, will improve the quality of life and even reduce mortality.For most of the waking hours will be in the day time, which can reduce the number of accidents and fatalities on the roads.Also, many believe that time is marching forward lap for two hours, it is psychologically more natural for humans.In support of this position is the fact that the transfer of arrows in spring and autumn increases the load on the body.In the days when the translation was carried out hours, increasing the number of acute diseases, and increased suicide rate.

So, there are two opposing points of view on the problem of changing the time in Russia.As far as each of them is true, hard to say.

Anyway, most people in Russia are accustomed to live on the new time.

historically If daylight savings time has been set, mainly to save power, but now the question is not so, because it became clear that the economy, if it is very small.

a large extent have to think about health and psychological comfort of citizens.In fairness, I would like to note that the majority of residents employed in a permanent job, did not notice the change in your mood and well being in connection with the cancellation of "summer" time.

Incidentally, the concept of "standard time" in Russia is no longer used.The new draft law "On the Calculation of Time" was replaced by administrative Time zones Time zones, which do not coincide with the same territorial division.And the concept of daylight saving time, in accordance with the law, was withdrawn from circulation.
