Prosvet prayer times overview
The Prosvet 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 Prosvet is 2 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.
For Prosvet the coordinates 55.5703°N and 65.0825°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.
Today in Prosvet the sun rises at 04:55, while Maghrib begins at 20:36. Daylight lasts 15 часов 41 minute. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Prosvet the period from Maghrib (20:36) to Fajr (02:42) lasts 6 часов 6 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Prosvet the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
When preparing for prayer in Prosvet, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:42), Maghrib (20:36) and Isha (22:40) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Prosvet, 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 Prosvet
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.
Prayer times in Prosvet 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 (02:42) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:36) 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 Prosvet 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.
