Moscow — MSK at UTC+3, no DST

Moscow runs on Moscow Standard Time (MSK, UTC+3) year-round. Russia abolished DST in 2011 (briefly experimenting with permanent DST, then reverting to permanent standard time in 2014). MOEX (Moscow Exchange) trading runs 10 AM - 6:45 PM MSK. Moscow sits 3 h ahead of London (winter) / 2 h (summer).

Regional context

Timezones across Europe

Europe stretches across four main timezones — GMT/BST (UK, Ireland, Portugal), CET/CEST (most of continental Europe), EET/EEST (Greece, Finland, the Baltics), and MSK (Russia's westernmost cities). Most countries observe DST in unison — last Sunday of March to last Sunday of October — creating clean 1-hour steps between neighbouring zones. Icelandic and Russian cities are exceptions with no seasonal shift.
