42	RU-KEM	Kemerovo Oblast

From Alexander Krivenyshev (2009-10-13):
Kemerovo oblast' (Kemerovo region) in Russia will change current time zone on
March 28, 2010:
from current Russia Zone 6 - Krasnoyarsk Time Zone (KRA) UTC +0700
to Russia Zone 5 - Novosibirsk Time Zone (NOV) UTC +0600

This is according to Government of Russia decree No. 740, on September
14, 2009 "Application in the territory of the Kemerovo region the Fifth
time zone." ("Russia Zone 5" or old "USSR Zone 5" is GMT +0600)

or Russian-English translation by WorldTimeZone.com with reference
map to local region and new Russia Time Zone map after March 28, 2010
http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_russia03.html

Thus, when Russia will switch to DST on the night of March 28, 2010
Kemerovo region (Kemerovo oblast') will not change the clock.

From Tim Parenti (2014-07-02), per Alexander Krivenyshev (2014-07-02):
The Kemerovo region will remain at UTC+7 through the 2014-10-26 change, thus
realigning itself with KRAT.
