1603 # The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing

1605 # complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
1606 #
1607 # From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
1608 # ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
1609 # was "blended" with the Central zone. Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
1610 # two time zones, and difference between them is one hour. The zone
1611 # closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
1612 # same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtobe, Atyrau,
1613 # Mangghystau, and West Kazakhstan. The other zone encompasses
1614 # everything else.... I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones
1615 # de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.

1589 # From Kazakhstan Embassy's News Bulletin No. 11
1590 # <http://www.kazsociety.org.uk/news/2005/03/30.htm> (2005-03-21):
1591 # The Government of Kazakhstan passed a resolution March 15 abolishing
1592 # daylight saving time citing lack of economic benefits and health
1593 # complications coupled with a decrease in productivity.
1594 #
1595 # From Branislav Kojic (in Astana) via Gwillim Law (2005-06-28):
1596 # ... what happened was that the former Kazakhstan Eastern time zone
1597 # was "blended" with the Central zone. Therefore, Kazakhstan now has
1598 # two time zones, and difference between them is one hour. The zone
1599 # closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the
1600 # same), encompassing four provinces in the west: Aqtobe, Atyrau,
1601 # Mangghystau, and West Kazakhstan. The other zone encompasses
1602 # everything else.... I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones
1603 # de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.
1604
1605 # From Stepan Golosunov (2016-03-27) ([*] means see later comments below):
1606 # Review of the linked documents from http://adilet.zan.kz/
1607 # produced the following data for post-1991 Kazakhstan:
1608 #
1609 # 0. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR
1610 # from 1991-02-04 No. 20
1611 # http://pravo.gov.ru/proxy/ips/?docbody=&nd=102010545
1612 # removed the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of the USSR
1613 # starting with the last Sunday of March 1991.
1614 # It also allowed (but not mandated) Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Tajik SSR,
1615 # Turkmen SSR and Uzbek SSR to not have "summer" time.
1616 #
1617 # The 1992-01-13 act also refers to the act of the Cabinet of Ministers
1618 # of the Kazakh SSR from 1991-03-20 No. 170 "About the act of the Cabinet
1619 # of Ministers of the USSR from 1991-02-04 No. 20" but I didn't found its
1620 # text.
1621 #
1622 # According to Izvestia newspaper No. 68 (23334) from 1991-03-20
1623 # (page 6; available at http://libinfo.org/newsr/newsr2574.djvu via
1624 # http://libinfo.org/index.php?id=58564) on 1991-03-31 at 2:00 during
1625 # transition to "summer" time:
1626 # Republic of Georgia, Latvian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, SSR Moldova,
1627 # Estonian SSR; Komi ASSR; Kaliningrad oblast; Nenets autonomous okrug
1628 # were to move clocks 1 hour forward.
1629 # Kazakh SSR (excluding Uralsk oblast); Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Tajik
1630 # SSR; Andijan, Jizzakh, Namangan, Sirdarya, Tashkent, Fergana oblasts
1631 # of the Uzbek SSR were to move clocks 1 hour backwards.
1632 # Other territories were to not move clocks.
1633 # When the "summer" time would end on 1991-09-29, clocks were to be
1634 # moved 1 hour backwards on the territory of the USSR excluding
1635 # Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenia, Tajikistan.
1636 #
1637 # Apparently there were last minute changes. Apparently Kazakh act No. 170
1638 # was one of such changes.
1639 #
1640 # https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Декретное время
1641 # claims that Sovetskaya Rossiya newspaper on 1991-03-29 published that
1642 # Nenets autonomous okrug, Komi and Kazakhstan (excluding Uralsk oblast)
1643 # were to not move clocks and Uralsk oblast was to move clocks
1644 # forward; on 1991-09-29 Kazakhstan was to move clocks backwards.
1645 # (Probably there were changes even after that publication. There is an
1646 # article claiming that Kaliningrad oblast decided on 1991-03-29 to not
1647 # move clocks.)
1648 #
1649 # This implies that on 1991-03-31 Asia/Oral remained on +04/+05 while
1650 # the rest of Kazakhstan switched from +06/+07 to +05/06 or from +05/06
1651 # to +04/+05. It's unclear how Kzyl-Orda oblast moved into the fifth

1662 # 2:00, specified DST rules. It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was
1663 # located in the fourth and the fifth time belts and specified the

1665 # oblasts (notably including Turgai and Kzyl-Orda oblasts into the fifth
1666 # time belt).
