Time Zones
Counting Kaliningrad, Russia spans 11 time zones. Moscow and St. Petersburg are in the same time zone, which is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time in the winter, and four hours ahead during Daylight Savings Time. See a map of Russia's time zones in the linkbox on the right side.
Electricity
Voltage: 220v. Frequency: 50Hz.
Outlets: Still in use is the two-pin GOST 7369 plug and socket that was widespread throughout Russia and Eastern Europe. This 4.0mm pin plug is being phased out in favor of the European CEE 7/4 Shuko and CEE 7/16 Europlug with 4.8mm pins. It's best to bring converters for both types of outlets.
TV Standard
SECAM
Measurements
Russia uses the metric system. Russia also has its own measurements for shoes and clothing. See the linkbox for a handy metric conversion website and for clothing conversion sites.
Weather
Russia's great expanse means the weather depends on where you are, but much of the country experiences winters with six months of snow cover. Most of Russia has two primary seasons of winter and summer, with brief periods of spring and autumn. In the very north, you will find arctic conditions. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, expect long, cold winters and mild summers. In the very south-eastern areas influenced by the Pacific Ocean, there is little snow in winter and summers are hot and rainy. Russia's popular Black Sea resort region enjoys almost tropical weather in the summer.
See average monthly temperatures for Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other areas from the website in the linkbox.
Public Holidays
During Russian public holidays, expect all government offices (including embassies) to be closed and most shops also. Many people have the day off from work.
January 1-2: New Years Day
January 7: Orthodox Christmas
March 8: Womens' Day
May 1-2: May Day
May 9: Victory Day
June 12: Independence Day
November 7: Peace and Harmony Day (former October Revolution Day)
