Gorno-Altaisk, March 27, 2016, 06:40 – REGNUM Today, 27 March, the Republic of Altai and the neighboring Altai region moved to the new time zone – UTC +7 or MSK +4. In accordance with the law recently adopted by the State Duma, the Altai has returned to the usual procedure for calculating time. Unusual is that Novosibirsk, which has traditionally been to Altai in the same time zone as drawn with arrows transfer, breaking the existing inter-regional ties.
The requirements to return the regions of Western Siberia in the usual time zone is particularly active were heard last summer, when it became apparent that “time is something too clever by half” – dawn was at 3 am and dusk sets in already at 19:00. Especially hard to have the residents of rural areas and their Altai just the majority. Pets of any kind do not want to live according to the time set by the government in 2014, preferring their biological clock, and this created great difficulties for the villagers. Experts say that the decreased productivity, increasingly began to emerge health problems
By last fall, it became obvious that the population wants to return to the usual time as a whole:. In 1930 for 85 years of the republic and the region in mainly lived on UTC +7 time difference with Moscow time at the same time was four hours. The parliamentarians of the two regions have the relevant bills to the State Duma, which approved amendments to the law “On the Calculation of Time”. By the way, today passed into the usual for a time zone Chita region, as well as several regions of Yakutia and the Amur region.
It is noteworthy here that still resist the transfer of the shooter authorities of the Novosibirsk region, which is still in the zone UTC + 6 or MSK +3. Some experts believe that behind this kind of “winter lobby”, although there is a version that the regional authorities do not want to go towards the Communists and the mayor of Novosibirsk Anatoly elbow , which actively support the reform of the hour. The party members are afraid that, having achieved the transfer of the shooter, the Communists will record it himself into an asset and will trump this achievement on the State Duma elections.
In any case, the issue of inter-regional relations situation is quite unusual. “Frankly, the situation is quite stupid – says economist Stanislav Savelyev . – The reluctance of the authorities of the Novosibirsk region to initiate a change of time zone tears traditional ties in the West Siberian region. Look at the map, which is distributed in the State Duma at the consideration of the change of time zone in the Altai. Even purely visually clear that this “Novosibirsk hour enclave” completely meaningless. Many Novosibirsk used to vacation in the Altai, which is directly south of Novosibirsk, and during the trip, they will be totally unjustified in another time zone. Very close transport links between Altai and Novosibirsk region, freight turns often in one day … In general, created a great inconvenience for the people and the national economy »
