Yekaterinburg Time (YEKT) is the time zone five hours ahead of UTC (UTC 05:00) and 2 hours ahead of Moscow Time (MSK 2).
In 2011, Russia moved to year-round daylight saving time. Instead of switching between UTC 05:00 in winter and UTC 06:00 in summer, Yekaterinburg time was set to UTC 06:00 until 2014, when it was reset back to UTC 05:00 year-round.
The time zone applies to the Ural Federal District, and Bashkortostan, Orenburg Oblast and Perm Krai in the Volga Federal District.
