What is the time difference between the usa and russia?
If two places are located in the northern hemisphere and both places use DST- for example Moscow (Russia) and New York (USA) the time difference between those two places can be 1 hour offset during a year. This takes place because Europe shifts to daylight saving time one week earlier than the U.S. in the spring- the time difference between New York and Moscow most time of the year is + 08 hours (Moscow time is 8 hours ahead of New York time), however for 1 week in the spring- the time difference is + 09 hours. Same situation can be applied between most of the cities in Europe and North American cities during that week.
