Russkiy prayer times overview
For Russkiy 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 Russkiy prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 7 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Russkiy coordinates: 43.0224°N and 131.8601°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
According to today's schedule for Russkiy, the sun rises at 06:09, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:27. 14 часов 18 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Russkiy begins after Maghrib at 20:27 and lasts until Fajr at 04:30. Its duration is 8 часов 3 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Russkiy the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Russkiy prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:30 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:27 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:58 the start of the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Russkiy
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 Russkiy 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 (04:30) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:27): 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 Russkiy 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.
