“Had I travelled the same route by train⟳ (the Trans-Siberian Express⟳, say⟳), it would have⟳ taken me a week to get⟳ there - enough time to notice⟳ that the clocks at all the stations along the way (as well as at all other stations in the totalitarian USSR) stubbornly stuck to Moscow Time. […] That bizarre arrangement, convenient for the compilers of train⟳ timetables but highly confusing for everyone else, was in force⟳ until the early 2000s, when railway stations across Russia finally adopted local times, like⟳ everywhere else in the world.”
