History[edit]
During the late 19th century, Moscow Mean Time was introduced in Russia, originally at UTC+02:30.[1][2] After the October Revolution, the time zone was changed to UTC+03:00.
The British company rule in Rhodesia also briefly observed this offset, adopting it on 1 August 1899[3] before switching to UTC+02:00 in 1903.
