Sokol'niki prayer times overview
The Sokol'niki 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 is applied for Sokol'niki: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Sokol'niki geographic location is 55.8020°N, 37.6716°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Sokol'niki prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
According to today's schedule for Sokol'niki, the sun rises at 04:43, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:26. 15 часов 43 минуты passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Sokol'niki begins after Maghrib at 20:26 and lasts until Fajr at 02:31. Its duration is 6 часов 5 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Sokol'niki 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 Sokol'niki prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:31 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:26 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:30 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Sokol'niki are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Sokol'niki
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
The prayer schedule in Sokol'niki 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 (02:31) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:26): 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 Sokol'niki 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.
