About Saint Petersburg
Saint Petersburg was founded by Peter the Great in 1703 and was Russia's capital for just over 200 years. It keeps Moscow Time (UTC+03:00) all year, two hours ahead of Sweden in winter and one hour in summer. In June the nights are so light that the period is known as the White Nights.
There is no summer time in Saint Petersburg; when Sweden changes its clocks, the difference changes by one hour.
