the great dam and Trans-Siberian split clocks
The Yenisei is one of the worldβs great rivers, and the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Dam, completed in 1972, is among the worldβs largest by capacity. The dam created the massive Krasnoyarsk Reservoir and fundamentally altered the local environment. It also created a 24-hour industrial operation that runs regardless of solar time.
At 56 degrees north, Krasnoyarsk has dramatic seasonal light. Summer evenings in June stay bright past 11pm. December days last barely 8 hours. The permanent UTC+7 setting (without DST) means that in summer, the clock doesnβt advance to take advantage of late evenings, which makes late summer nights unusually bright by clock standards.
Krasnoyarsk is a significant stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway, which uses Moscow Time for all ticketing regardless of local time (a 4-hour difference at UTC+7 Moscow +3). Travelers on the train learn to navigate this split quickly or miss their stops.
9am in Krasnoyarsk is 2am in London, seven hours ahead of GMT.
