Nikitinskiy prayer times overview
For Nikitinskiy 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.
Local time in Nikitinskiy is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Nikitinskiy coordinates: 54.5845°N and 86.0115°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Nikitinskiy today is 15 часов 33 минуты — from sunrise at 05:35 to Maghrib at 21:08. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Nikitinskiy 6 часов 12 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:08, while Fajr begins at 03:20. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Nikitinskiy the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Nikitinskiy: Fajr — 03:20, Maghrib — 21:08 and Isha — 23:15. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

Questions about prayer times in Nikitinskiy
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 Nikitinskiy 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:20) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:08): 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.
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 Nikitinskiy 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.
