Vostochny prayer times overview
For Vostochny 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.
Vostochny prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Vostochny the coordinates 44.3149°N and 44.1964°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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.
Today in Vostochny 12 часов 2 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:54, while the evening prayer begins at 17:56. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Vostochny 10 часов 32 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 17:56, while Fajr begins at 04:28. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Vostochny prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.
When preparing for prayer in Vostochny, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:28), Maghrib (17:56) and Isha (19:15) 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 Vostochny, 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.

- Fajr — 04:28: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:54: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 11:55: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 16:07: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.

Questions about prayer times in Vostochny
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.
The prayer schedule in Vostochny 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 (04:28) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (17:56): 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 Vostochny 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.
