When it comes to referring to time zones within Russia, do people reference the time zone in terms of UTC or MSK? For instance, Kamchatka Time can be referenced as UTC+12 or MSK+9. The MSK apparently is derived from Moscow Standard Time with the MSK itself being the English equivalent of МСК which apparently is short for Москов. How much of that is accurate? Another example: Irkutsk Time can be referenced as UTC+8 or MSK+5. Moscow Time is therefore UTC+3. I guess what it boils down to is a question of how people in Russia refer to their time zones in everyday conversation. Do they speak in terms of UTC, MSK, or the specific name of the time zones (Kaliningrad, Moscow, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Yakutsk, Vladivostok, Srednekolymsk, Kamchatka)?
