Russian Clocks Go Back for Last Time
Russia will turn back its clocks for the last time on Sunday to permanently adopt winter hours.
It will also increase its time zones from nine to 11, from the Pacific to the borders of the European Union.
For the last three years, Russia experimented with keeping permanent summer time, but it proved to be highly unpopular with many Russians.
Changing times in the seasons disrupted people's biorhythms and even upset cows, Mr Medvedev said.
The deputy director of the Geography Institute, Arkady Tishkov, said he was against the latest change because he believed it was carried out to please advertisers as it would result in, he believes, more people watching television.

Don't they know that "To err is human, to forgive, bovine"?
