As many of you know, Russia has eleven time zones, and has (or will) cut two of them. It is possible that they may end daylight savings time altogether.

Does anyone know if they have cut two time zones, and if daylight savings is now a thing of the past? If so, does daylight savings end in all time zones, or just some?

I maintain some software that may need to be patched and can't find two news sites that agree on if they have, or have not implemented these changes.
