Two Fewer Time Zones in Russia

[David L. Cooper]

Apologies to all! I had formatted the first two terms of my (formerly) 
11-term list with strikethrough letters to reduce it to 9, but email 
formatting somehow disallowed my edits (might nature itself not 
similarly render illegitimate Russia's tinkering with the time zones?). 
As to whether I am cutting from the correct end, whether one rather 
ought to eliminate postmodern than Paleolithic, or whether ancient and 
early modern don't collapse in Russia into the middle ages, I refuse to 
speculate and leave that discussion to braver and more erudite souls.
