Yekaterinburg Time (YEKT) is the time zone five hours ahead of UTC and 2 hours ahead of Moscow Time (MSK+2). In 2011, Russia moved to year-round daylight saving time . Instead of switching between UTC+05:00 in winter and UTC+06:00 in summer, Yekaterinburg time was set to UTC+06:00 until 2014, when it was reset back to UTC+05:00 year-round.
