On Sunday night, Ukraine will switch to summer time, and Crimea - to Moscow

This night, the population of Ukraine moves the clocks forward one hour, and the population of Crimea - 2 hours. Thus, in Mariupol and Berdyansk, Zaporozhye and Donetsk, the sun will rise an hour later than in Crimea.

At the same time, Ukraine switches to daylight saving time at 2 am, and Crimea goes to the Moscow time zone at midnight and from zero to 2 am the time gap between the cities of Ukraine and Crimea for the first time in the history of our planet will be 2 hours.

Daylight saving time advocates are trying to justify it economically, beginning with Benjamin Franklin, who, as an envoy to France in 1784, anonymously published a letter suggesting that Parisians save on candles by using morning sunlight.

Many countries of the world do not support such violence against the body, since a number of scientists have proven that the transition to summer and winter time causes real stress in the body and can serve as a source of a variety of nervous diseases.

This period is most difficult for children and the elderly. To endure this stress, they need at least a week.

Daylight saving time 2014 will take place in more than 100 countries around the world.

The clock will not be switched to daylight saving time in Russia in March 2014 again. In Russia, the translation of the clock hands was canceled by Dmitry Medvedev in the fall of 2011, from that moment on, Russians live according to constant summer time.
