Time
Comparisons:
- Afternoon
in Alaska is morning of the next day in the Russian Far East,
making it possible to take advantage of the overlapping workday
and easy to conduct business in both Alaska and eastern Russia,
thanks to their proximity, geographically and time zone-wise.
- Alaska-Moscow
business is more difficult since Alaska and Moscow are on
opposite sites of the Earth – 12 hours apart. But time zone
conversions are easy: simply switch a.m. and p.m.
while keeping the time the same.
- Remember:
Russia is in the future, and the time is always 12 or more
hours later than Alaska. But you need not think too hard about
whether you are ahead or behind, earlier or later, since Alaska’s
location makes it earlier than almost everywhere time-wise,
while the Russian Far East is later than almost everywhere
time-wise.
