Moscow Time () is the Time Zone for the city of Moscow , Russia and most of western Russia, including Saint Petersburg . It is one of the Time Zones Of Russia . In accordance with the 16 June 1930 Decree of the Council Of People's Commissars , the Decree Time was introduced by adding one hour to the time in each Time Zone of the USSR , so that Moscow Time became three hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time . Moscow Time is in use for scheduling Trains , Airplanes , Ships , etc. throughout the Russian Federation , this time is registered in telegrams, etc. Times in Russia are often announced throughout the country on Radio Stations as Moscow Time.
