When the difference changes
Moscow Time and Alaska Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:
- Now – March 14, 2027Alaska Time is 12 hours behind
- March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Alaska Time is 11 hours behind
- November 7, 2027 – onwardsAlaska Time is 12 hours behind
Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.
Daylight saving
Moscow Time
Moscow Time stays on MSK all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.
Alaska Time
Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on AKDT after that.

Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Moscow and one in Anchorage — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Moscow is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Anchorage.
Moscow Time (MSK) is used in western Russia. Russia abolished daylight saving in 2011.
