Time zones and summer time

Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia · 12 Nov 2009, Address of 2009

We need to consider reducing the number of time zones. Of course, all the consequences of such a decision have to be calculated. This also concerns, by the way, whether switching to summer and winter time makes sense.
Our translation; the original is in Russian. «Нужно рассмотреть возможность сокращения количества часовых поясов. Конечно, надо просчитать все последствия такого решения. Это касается, кстати, и целесообразности перехода на летнее и зимнее время.»
