Everything about Decree Time totally explained
Decree time (
Russian:
Декретное время) refers to the changes introduced to the
USSR time system by a
Sovnarkom decree of
16 June 1930. By this decree, all clocks in the Soviet Union were permanently shifted one hour ahead of
standard time for each timezone.
It is independent from
Daylight Saving Time, which was introduced in the USSR much later, in
1981. In fact, with both time shifts in effect, summer time was
two hours ahead of standard time in the USSR.
From
1982 to
1986, decree time was gradually abolished by the USSR government in 30
oblasts and
autonomous Republics of the
Russian SFSR. In
1990, it was further abolished in
Ukraine,
Moldavia,
Georgia and
Azerbaijan, followed by the entire territory of the Soviet Union in
March 1991 (eight months before its
dissolution).
On
23 October 1991, the
Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR ruled to restore decree time in Russia. It was restored on
19 January 1992, except for the following
federal subjects:
