Barannikova prayer times overview
For Barannikova it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
The Barannikova prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Barannikova coordinates: 56.8059°N and 62.7867°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
The daytime interval in Barannikova today is 15 часов 52 минуты — from sunrise at 04:58 to Maghrib at 20:50. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Barannikova begins after Maghrib at 20:50 and lasts until Fajr at 02:48. Its duration is 5 часов 58 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.

Questions about prayer times in Barannikova
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
Prayer times in Barannikova are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:48) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:50) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Barannikova it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
