Why Moscow has its own time

Russia spans 11 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Moscow covers MSK+00 - Moscow area and is on the same clock as Moscow, though the two are separate zones in the IANA database and can diverge when daylight saving rules differ.

Moscow does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
