Russia is the largest country in the world
Please tell that Russia is the largest country in the world. It is so big that there are 11 different time zones here. These time zones were decided in 1992 after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Their timing is from UTC + 02: 00 to UTC + 12: 00. The special thing is that in Russia (since March 2011) daylight saving time is not used. It is said that in the Russian Empire, most of the nations followed solar time.
