1598 # From Kazakhstan Embassy's News Bulletin No. 11
1599 # <http://www.kazsociety.org.uk/news/2005/03/30.htm> (2005-03-21):
1600 # The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing
1601 # daylight saving time citing lack of economic benefits and health
1602 # complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
1603 #
1604 # From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
1605 # ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
1606 # was "blended" with the Central zone.  Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
1607 # two time zones, and difference between them is one hour.  The zone
1608 # closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
1609 # same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtobe, Atyrau,
1610 # Mangghystau, and West Kazakhstan.  The other zone encompasses
1611 # everything else....  I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones
1612 # de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.
1613 
1614 # From Stepan Golosunov (2016-03-27) ([*] means see later comments below):
1615 # Review of the linked documents from http://adilet.zan.kz/
1616 # produced the following data for post-1991 Kazakhstan:
1617 #
1618 # 0. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR
1619 # from 1991-02-04 No. 20
1620 # http://pravo.gov.ru/proxy/ips/?docbody=&nd=102010545
1621 # removed the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of the USSR
1622 # starting with the last Sunday of March 1991.
1623 # It also allowed (but not mandated) Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Tajik SSR,
1624 # Turkmen SSR and Uzbek SSR to not have "summer" time.
1625 #
1626 # The 1992-01-13 act also refers to the act of the Cabinet of Ministers
1627 # of the Kazakh SSR from 1991-03-20 No. 170 "About the act of the Cabinet
1628 # of Ministers of the USSR from 1991-02-04 No. 20" but I didn't found its
1629 # text.
1630 #
1631 # According to Izvestia newspaper No. 68 (23334) from 1991-03-20
1632 # (page 6; available at http://libinfo.org/newsr/newsr2574.djvu via
1633 # http://libinfo.org/index.php?id=58564) on 1991-03-31 at 2:00 during
1634 # transition to "summer" time:


1640 # of the Uzbek SSR were to move clocks 1 hour backwards.
1641 # Other territories were to not move clocks.
1642 # When the "summer" time would end on 1991-09-29, clocks were to be
1643 # moved 1 hour backwards on the territory of the USSR excluding
1644 # Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenia, Tajikistan.
1645 #
1646 # Apparently there were last minute changes. Apparently Kazakh act No. 170
1647 # was one of such changes.
1648 #
1649 # https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Декретное время
1650 # claims that Sovetskaya Rossiya newspaper on 1991-03-29 published that
1651 # Nenets autonomous okrug, Komi and Kazakhstan (excluding Uralsk oblast)
1652 # were to not move clocks and Uralsk oblast was to move clocks
1653 # forward; on 1991-09-29 Kazakhstan was to move clocks backwards.
1654 # (Probably there were changes even after that publication. There is an
1655 # article claiming that Kaliningrad oblast decided on 1991-03-29 to not
1656 # move clocks.)
1657 #
1658 # This implies that on 1991-03-31 Asia/Oral remained on +04/+05 while
1659 # the rest of Kazakhstan switched from +06/+07 to +05/06 or from +05/06
1660 # to +04/+05. It's unclear how Kzyl-Orda oblast moved into the fifth
1661 # time belt. (By switching from +04/+05 to +05/+06 on 1991-09-29?) ...
1662 #
1663 # 1. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
1664 # from 1992-01-13 No. 28
1665 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000028_
1666 # (text includes modification from the 1996 act)
1667 # introduced new rules for calculation of time, mirroring Russian
1668 # 1992-01-08 act.  It specified that time would be calculated
1669 # according to time belts plus extra hour ("decree time"), moved clocks
1670 # on the whole territory of Kazakhstan 1 hour forward on 1992-01-19 at
1671 # 2:00, specified DST rules.  It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was
1672 # located in the fourth and the fifth time belts and specified the
1673 # border between them to be located east of Kustanay and Aktyubinsk
1674 # oblasts (notably including Turgai and Kzyl-Orda oblasts into the fifth
1675 # time belt).
1676 #
1677 # This means switch on 1992-01-19 at 2:00 from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for
1678 # Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Aqtobe, Asia/Oral, Atyrau and Kustanay oblasts; from
1679 # +05/+06 to +06/+07 for Asia/Almaty and Asia/Qyzylorda (and Arkalyk) [*]....
1680 #
1681 # 2. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
1682 # from 1992-03-27 No. 284
1683 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000284_
1684 # cancels extra hour ("decree time") for Uralsk and Kzyl-Orda oblasts
1685 # since the last Sunday of March 1992, while keeping them in the fourth
1686 # and the fifth time belts respectively.
1687 #
1688 # 3. Order of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan
1689 # from 1994-09-23 No. 384
1690 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/R940000384_
1691 # cancels the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of Mangystau
1692 # oblast since the last Sunday of September 1994 (saying that time on
1693 # the territory would correspond to the third time belt as a
1694 # result)....
1695 #
1696 # 4. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
1697 # from 1996-05-08 No. 575
1698 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P960000575_
1699 # amends the 1992-01-13 act to end summer time in October instead
1700 # of September, mirroring identical Russian change from 1996-04-23 act.
1701 #
1702 # 5. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
1703 # from 1999-03-26 No. 305
1704 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P990000305_
1705 # cancels the extra hour ("decree time") for Atyrau oblast since the
1706 # last Sunday of March 1999 while retaining the oblast in the fourth
1707 # time belt.
1708 #
1709 # This means change from +05/+06 to +04/+05.
1710 #
1711 # There is no zone for Atyrau currently (listed under Asia/Aqtau in
1712 # zone1970.tab).[*]

1716 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P000001749_/23.11.2000
1717 # replaces the previous five documents.
1718 #
1719 # The only changes I noticed are in definition of the border between the
1720 # fourth and the fifth time belts.  They account for changes in spelling
1721 # and administrative division (splitting of Turgai oblast in 1997
1722 # probably changed time in territories incorporated into Kostanay oblast
1723 # (including Arkalyk) from +06/+07 to +05/+06) and move Kyzylorda oblast
1724 # from being in the fifth time belt and not using decree time into the
1725 # fourth time belt (no change in practice).[*]

1734 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P040000775_/20.07.2004
1735 # modified the 2000-11-23 act to move Kostanay and Kyzylorda oblasts into
1736 # the fifth time belt and add Aktobe oblast to the list of regions not
1737 # using extra hour ("decree time"), leaving Kazakhstan with only 2 time
1738 # zones (+04/+05 and +06/+07).  The changes were to be implemented
1739 # during DST transitions in 2004 and 2005 but the acts got radically
1740 # amended before implementation happened.

1743 # from 2004-09-15 No. 1059
1744 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P040001059_
1745 # modified the 2000-11-23 act to remove exceptions from the "decree time"
1746 # (leaving Kazakhstan in +05/+06 and +06/+07 zones), amended the
1747 # 2004-07-20 act to implement changes for Atyrau, West Kazakhstan,
1748 # Kostanay, Kyzylorda and Mangystau oblasts by not moving clocks
1749 # during the 2014 transition to "winter" time.
1750 #

1598 # From Kazakhstan Embassy's News Bulletin No. 11
1599 # <http://www.kazsociety.org.uk/news/2005/03/30.htm> (2005-03-21):
1600 # The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing
1601 # daylight saving time citing lack of economic benefits and health
1602 # complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
1603 #
1604 # From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
1605 # ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
1606 # was "blended" with the Central zone.  Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
1607 # two time zones, and difference between them is one hour.  The zone
1608 # closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
1609 # same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtöbe, Atyraū,
1610 # Mangghystaū, and West Kazakhstan.  The other zone encompasses
1611 # everything else....  I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones
1612 # de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.
1613 
1614 # From Stepan Golosunov (2016-03-27):
1615 # Review of the linked documents from http://adilet.zan.kz/
1616 # produced the following data for post-1991 Kazakhstan:
1617 #
1618 # 0. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR
1619 # from 1991-02-04 No. 20
1620 # http://pravo.gov.ru/proxy/ips/?docbody=&nd=102010545
1621 # removed the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of the USSR
1622 # starting with the last Sunday of March 1991.
1623 # It also allowed (but not mandated) Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Tajik SSR,
1624 # Turkmen SSR and Uzbek SSR to not have "summer" time.
1625 #
1626 # The 1992-01-13 act also refers to the act of the Cabinet of Ministers
1627 # of the Kazakh SSR from 1991-03-20 No. 170 "About the act of the Cabinet
1628 # of Ministers of the USSR from 1991-02-04 No. 20" but I didn't found its
1629 # text.
1630 #
1631 # According to Izvestia newspaper No. 68 (23334) from 1991-03-20
1632 # (page 6; available at http://libinfo.org/newsr/newsr2574.djvu via
1633 # http://libinfo.org/index.php?id=58564) on 1991-03-31 at 2:00 during
1634 # transition to "summer" time:


1640 # of the Uzbek SSR were to move clocks 1 hour backwards.
1641 # Other territories were to not move clocks.
1642 # When the "summer" time would end on 1991-09-29, clocks were to be
1643 # moved 1 hour backwards on the territory of the USSR excluding
1644 # Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenia, Tajikistan.
1645 #
1646 # Apparently there were last minute changes. Apparently Kazakh act No. 170
1647 # was one of such changes.
1648 #
1649 # https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Декретное время
1650 # claims that Sovetskaya Rossiya newspaper on 1991-03-29 published that
1651 # Nenets autonomous okrug, Komi and Kazakhstan (excluding Uralsk oblast)
1652 # were to not move clocks and Uralsk oblast was to move clocks
1653 # forward; on 1991-09-29 Kazakhstan was to move clocks backwards.
1654 # (Probably there were changes even after that publication. There is an
1655 # article claiming that Kaliningrad oblast decided on 1991-03-29 to not
1656 # move clocks.)
1657 #
1658 # This implies that on 1991-03-31 Asia/Oral remained on +04/+05 while
1659 # the rest of Kazakhstan switched from +06/+07 to +05/06 or from +05/06
1660 # to +04/+05. It's unclear how Qyzylorda oblast moved into the fifth
1661 # time belt. (By switching from +04/+05 to +05/+06 on 1991-09-29?) ...

1663 # 1. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
1664 # from 1992-01-13 No. 28
1665 # http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000028_
1666 # (text includes modification from the 1996 act)
1667 # introduced new rules for calculation of time, mirroring Russian
1668 # 1992-01-08 act.  It specified that time would be calculated
1669 # according to time belts plus extra hour ("decree time"), moved clocks
1670 # on the whole territory of Kazakhstan 1 hour forward on 1992-01-19 at
1671 # 2:00, specified DST rules.  It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was
1672 # located in the fourth and the fifth time belts and specified the
1673 # border between them to be located east of Qostanay and Aktyubinsk
1674 # oblasts (notably including Turgai and Qyzylorda oblasts into the fifth
1675 # time belt).
1676 #
1677 # This means switch on 1992-01-19 at 2:00 from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for
1678 # Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Aqtobe, Asia/Oral, Atyraū and Qostanay oblasts; from

1714 # replaces the previous five documents.
1715 #
1716 # The only changes I noticed are in definition of the border between the
1717 # fourth and the fifth time belts.  They account for changes in spelling
1718 # and administrative division (splitting of Turgai oblast in 1997
1719 # probably changed time in territories incorporated into Qostanay oblast
1720 # (including Arkalyk) from +06/+07 to +05/+06) and move Qyzylorda oblast

1744 # 2004-07-20 act to implement changes for Atyraū, West Kazakhstan,
