Grazhdanka prayer times overview
The Grazhdanka prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Grazhdanka is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For Grazhdanka the coordinates 60.0170°N and 30.4170°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Grazhdanka 16 часов 26 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:51, while the evening prayer begins at 21:17. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Grazhdanka 5 часов 33 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:17, while Fajr begins at 02:50. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Grazhdanka there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Grazhdanka. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.

Questions about prayer times in Grazhdanka
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.
The prayer schedule in Grazhdanka is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:50) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:17): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
The location of Grazhdanka at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
