Ulyanovsk Time

Ulyanovsk Time (code: ULYANO) follows a steady UTC+04:00 year-round, with no daylight saving changes since clocks were fixed in 2016. Living or collaborating in this part of Russia means dealing with a single, predictable time zone—but also with the oddity of a modern time code that exists for just one city that briefly ditched Moscow’s time.

About ULYANO

A fixed, year-round offset.

Ulyanovsk Time (code: ULYANO) follows a steady UTC+04:00 year-round, with no daylight saving changes since clocks were fixed in 2016. Living or collaborating in this part of Russia means dealing with a single, predictable time zone—but also with the oddity of a modern time code that exists for just one city that briefly ditched Moscow’s time.

IANA zones · the technical identifiers

The zone that resolve to ULYANO.

For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about ULYANO, daylight saving, and how to handle it in software. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].

Why does Ulyanovsk have its own time zone?
Ulyanovsk broke away from Moscow Time in 2016, shifting to UTC+04:00 and getting its own zone (Europe/Ulyanovsk) to reflect the new local reality.
Does Ulyanovsk use daylight saving time?
No. Since the 2016 switch, Ulyanovsk has stayed permanently at UTC+04:00 with no daylight saving changes.
Is Ulyanovsk Time used across Russia?
It’s very localized—Europe/Ulyanovsk applies mainly to the city and its immediate region, while the vast majority of Russia uses other offsets.
When was Ulyanovsk Time created?
The current setup has been in place since 27 March 2016, when the region moved from Moscow Time to UTC+04:00.
What is life like in a one-city time zone?
It’s practically stable: no DST surprises, but you do need to remember that you’re an hour ahead of Moscow and on your own in the world of time zones.
