Moscow is the capital of Russia, located in its western part. Vladivostok is one of the largest cities in the eastern part of Russia. Currently, the temporary "distance" between these cities is 7 hours.
Instructions
Step 1
Russia is a country that has the largest territory in the world. From south to north, it is not stretched so much, but its length from west to east is already much greater. Since Moscow is located in the western part of Russia, the day begins here much earlier than in the eastern part, where Vladivostok is located. The 7 hour difference is not always convenient from an economic point of view.
Step 2
Coordinates of Moscow: 55 ° 45′07 ″ north latitude, 37 ° 36′56 ″ east longitude.
Vladivostok coordinates: 43 ° 06'20 "north latitude, 131 ° 52'24" east longitude.
It is easy to see that the difference between the coordinates in east longitude is almost 100 °.
Step 3
Moscow is the capital of Russia, it is a city of federal significance. Moscow is also the administrative center of the Central Federal District and the capital of the Moscow Region. The city is the largest in Russia and one of the largest in the world. It is the most populated city in Europe. There are many suburbs adjacent to Moscow, which, together with the capital, form the Moscow agglomeration. Moscow is located in the central part of the East European Plain, on the Moskva River.
Step 4
Vladivostok is the administrative center of Primorsky Krai. It is the center of the Vladivostok urban district, which, in addition to the city itself, includes several suburban areas. The city is located on the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula, and also occupies several islands in the Peter the Great Bay, which is located in the Sea of Japan. This is one of the largest seaports in the Far East. It is in Vladivostok that the Trans-Siberian Railway ends. The city is also the main base of the Russian Pacific Fleet.
Step 5
Currently, the deputies of Primorye have put forward the idea of getting rid of the time difference between Moscow and Vladivostok, or at least reducing it. They note that the 7-hour gap often makes it impossible to work together, since in one city the working day is already ending, and in another it is just beginning. The deputies of the Primorsky Territory came up with an initiative to reduce the time gap to 4 hours. They plan to conduct an experiment, during which the working hours in Vladivostok in state institutions will be shifted in order to better combine with Moscow.
Step 6
Doctors oppose such an initiative, stating that the harm to the health of people who are forced to live not according to biological, but according to administrative hours will be colossal. The transition to summer and winter time is already stressful for the body, and if you add to this such experiments with time, the consequences can be the most harmful.
