According to a survey among residents of the region, more than 50% of its participants would like to change the time zone to UTC + 3.
Alexei Katyshev, a neurologist and sleep doctor, went today with a single picket to the center of Volgograd to announce his position to the townspeople.
He believes there is no evidence that advancing timing is preferable to human health. He was against the referendum in 2018 and against the transition of the Volgograd region to local time.
– In August I came to Volgograd for 10 days, and the Regional Duma decided to send its decision to the State Duma, – Alexey shared, – then I decided to arrange something like a single picket.
Let us remind that the parliamentarians of the region have already sent to the State Duma a regional resolution on amendments to the law “On the calculation of time”. With a positive decision, the region will move the clock hands forward on December 20.
The decision to return to the Moscow time zone is also supported by residents of the Saratov region, who are also at local time, but are in favor of returning Moscow time.
