Vostok prayer times overview
The Vostok prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Vostok prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 7 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Vostok the coordinates 46.4519°N and 135.8277°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.
Vostok 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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Vostok 12 часов 2 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:47, while the evening prayer begins at 18:49. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Vostok 10 часов 28 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 18:49, while Fajr begins at 05:17. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Vostok prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.
If you plan your day around the Vostok prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 05:17 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:49 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 20:13 the start of the night prayer.
The Vostok prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Vostok
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.
Prayer times in Vostok 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 (05:17) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (18:49): 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 not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Vostok according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
