Daylight Saving Time and Time Zones in Europe By Anne Buckle and Konstantin Bikos Europe is divided into four main time zones that span from UTC+0 hours in western European countries to UTC+3 hours in Belarus and parts of Russia. Thousands gathered in eastern Russia to protest against the proposed changes to the country’s time zones on December 11, 2010. Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev wants to reduce the number of time zones across the country to improve the nation’s economy. The president also brought up the subject of daylight saving time (DST) and standard time. Contrary to popular belief, the answer is not Russia. True enough: Russia’s vast expanse, stretching from Europe in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east, covers a staggering range of longitudes. This results in significant time zone diversity, spanning an impressive 11 time zones. However, one country has even more time zones than Russia. Current local time in Russia – Omsk.
