For a long time, Russian citizens switched the clock twice a year: in spring - to summer time, in autumn - to winter time. However, several years ago it was decided to abandon this practice.
During almost the entire time the Russian Federation existed, namely, from October 23, 1991, a resolution of the Council of the Republic of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR from "On streamlining the calculation of time on the territory of the RSFSR" was in force in our country. This legal act established the annual introduction of daylight saving time, and the order and date of transition to it should be determined in accordance with the requirements of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.
Cancel annual arrow transfer
In 2011, the then President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev signed a law that abolished the practice of translating hands on a watch. However, this regulatory act was signed in June, that is, after March 27, 2011, the country's residents switched their clocks to summer time.
Thus, Federal Law No. 107-ФЗ dated June 3, 2011 "On the calculation of time" actually fixed permanent summer time on the territory of Russia. As the main factor that caused the refusal of the double annual translation of the clock hands, the negative impact of changing the time regime on the human body, expressed in an increase in the incidence and mortality of the population of the country, was called.
