2451# The article from Trud says that 1981-10-01 changes caused problems
2452# and some territories would be moved to pre-1981-10-01 time by not
2453# moving to summer time on 1982-04-01. Namely: Dagestan,
2454# Kabardino-Balkar, Kalmyk, Komi, Mari, Mordovian, North Ossetian,
2455# Tatar, Chechen-Ingush and Chuvash ASSR, Krasnodar and Stavropol
2456# krais, Arkhangelsk, Vladimir, Vologda, Voronezh, Gorky, Ivanovo,
2457# Kostroma, Lipetsk, Penza, Rostov, Ryazan, Tambov, Tyumen and
2458# Yaroslavl oblasts, Nenets and Evenk autonomous okrugs, Khatangsky
2459# district of Taymyr Autonomous Okrug. As a result Evenk Autonomous
2460# Okrug and Khatangsky district of Taymyr Autonomous Okrug would end
2461# up on Moscow+4, Tyumen Oblast on Moscow+2 and the rest on Moscow
2462# time.

2465# attributes the 1982 changes to the Act of the Council of Ministers
2466# of the USSR No. 126 from 18.02.1982. 1980-925.txt also adds
2467# Udmurtia to the list of affected territories and lists Khatangsky
2468# district separately from Taymyr Autonomous Okrug. Probably erroneously.
2469#
2470# The affected territories are currently listed under Europe/Moscow,
2471# Asia/Yekaterinburg and Asia/Krasnoyarsk.

2474# The fact that Udmurtia is depicted as a violator in the Nauka i

2476# Kuybyshev before 1981-10-01. Udmurtia is not mentioned in the 1989 act.
2477# http://astrozet.net/files/Zones/DOC/RU/1980-925.txt
