Yekaterinburg is in the Yekaterinburg Time zone (YEKT/UTC+5). Russia abolished seasonal clock changes in 2014, keeping this offset year-round.

Yekaterinburg is the capital of the Ural Federal District and Russia’s fourth-largest city. It sits at the geographic boundary between Europe and Asia, marked by several obelisks in the outskirts of the city. The boundary is symbolic, but the city has always had a gateway quality: this is where Russia’s continental mass shifts from European plain to Siberian expanse.

The city runs on Yekaterinburg Time, UTC+5, year-round. Russia eliminated DST in 2014, and UTC+5 has been the permanent offset since. The two-hour gap from Moscow (UTC+3) is constant.

The Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg is where Tsar Nicholas II, his family, and their attendants were executed by Bolshevik forces on the night of July 16-17, 1918. The house was demolished by Boris Yeltsin in 1977, then party chief of Sverdlovsk Oblast, reportedly to prevent it becoming a pilgrimage site. The Church on the Blood was built on the site in 2003. The timing: 1918, 1977, 2003. History in Yekaterinburg is layered in specific dates.
