Sevastopol is in the Europe/Simferopol timezone (MSK/UTC+3), with no daylight saving time observed. Sevastopol is the principal naval port of the Crimean Peninsula and the home of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. The city’s timezone is itself a matter of political dispute.

Before 2014, Sevastopol followed Ukrainian time: Eastern European Time (UTC+2 in winter, UTC+3 in summer). After Russia’s annexation of Crimea in March 2014, which Ukraine and most of the international community do not recognize, the peninsula was shifted to Moscow Time: UTC+3 year-round, with no daylight saving.

The shift happened abruptly in late March 2014. Residents who went to sleep on Eastern European Summer Time woke up two hours offset from their previous standard time. The clocks in Sevastopol moved simultaneously with the political transition, because in Russia, timezone assignment is an act of administrative authority.

The IANA timezone database lists the peninsula as Europe/Simferopol and tracks both the pre-2014 and post-2014 transitions. For software handling historical data from Crimea, the switch in spring 2014 requires careful attention.

a naval city and two sieges

The city’s naval history stretches back to ancient Greek colonies. The Siege of Sebastopol during the Crimean War (1854-1855) and its defense during World War II are both defining episodes in the city’s identity.

9am in Sevastopol is 6am in London in winter, 7am during British Summer Time.
