About the time in Moskva
Sunrise today lands at 05:12 and sunset at 07:53 local time, giving 14h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (55.76, 37.61) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Moskva.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Moskva day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
The zone identifier Europe/Moscow is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Moscow keeps pointing at Moscow time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
