Pestyaki prayer times overview
For Pestyaki 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 Pestyaki prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Pestyaki the coordinates 56.7091°N and 42.6695°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
According to today's schedule for Pestyaki, the sun rises at 04:19, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:10. 15 часов 51 minute passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Pestyaki the period from Maghrib (20:10) to Fajr (02:09) lasts 5 часов 59 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Pestyaki the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Pestyaki prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:09 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:10 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:12 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Pestyaki, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Pestyaki
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Pestyaki daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:09) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:10): 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.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Pestyaki it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
