How to Convert in Code
Python
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
dt = datetime.fromtimestamp(1706745600, ZoneInfo('Europe/Moscow'))
print(dt)
JavaScript (with Intl)
new Date(1706745600 * 1000).toLocaleString('en-US', {
timeZone: 'Europe/Moscow'
})
PHP
$dt = new DateTime('@1706745600');
$dt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('Europe/Moscow'));
echo $dt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s T');
No Daylight Saving
This zone does not observe daylight saving - the offset shown above is constant year-round. That makes it slightly easier to reason about than zones that shift, but you should still store timestamps as Unix epoch.
