Russia Abolishes Seasonal Clock Shifts

Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev announced the abolishment of the daylight-saving time system (also known as DST or “summer time” in Russia). Russia has been shifting to DST for the last 30 years. To be exact, what will actually be abolished is “winter time,” because the last clock shift is supposed to be made this spring. Medevedev stated that the DST clock shift causes psychological stress and disease. Medvedev went on to add that cows and other animals also “do not understand the clock shift and do not understand why dairymaids come to them at a wrong time.”
