Sochi clocks, offsets and daylight saving
Sochi runs on MSK. That places it 3 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+03:00); in a calendar, server config or booking form, select Europe/Moscow.
Sochi does not change its clocks. The same UTC+03:00 offset holds in January and July, which makes it a stable anchor for recurring calls.
Sochi is one of 213 Russia cities here, spread over 20 time zones; do not assume the rest of the country reads the same clock.
Sochi has roughly 327,608 residents and ranks 41st by population among the Russia cities on this site.
