What Country is Chelyabinsk in?

The metropolis of Chelyabinsk on the Asian side of the Ural Mountains was historically considered Russia’s “gateway to Siberia”. At the end of the 19th century, the construction of the route of the legendary trans-Siberian Railway began here. As an economic center, the importance of the ninth largest city in Russia can hardly be overestimated thanks to the steel and Tube Works, the tractor factory “Uraltrak” and other large enterprises. It is hardly surprising that Chelyabinsk has not yet emerged as a tourist destination. In fact, there are hardly any real sights. If you are traveling on the historic Transsib route and want to get off behind the Urals, you can easily visit all interesting places in one day.

Chelyabinsk, like the entire Chelyabinsk Oblast, is located in the time zone, which is referred to as the Yekaterinburg Time Zone (YEKT/YEKTST) according to international standards. The difference to UTC is + 5:00 (YEKT, winter time) / +6:00 (Yektst, summer time), because the time change to Summer Time is made in this time zone. The fixed difference to the Moscow time is +2 hours and is designated in Russia correspondingly as MSK+2.
