Moscow Time on EU's Border — The Timezone Gap
Belarus uses Moscow Time (UTC+3) permanently — making it the only European country besides Russia and Turkey on permanent UTC+3. This creates a 2-hour gap with neighboring Poland (CET, UTC+1) during winter — one of the largest timezone jumps at any land border in Europe.
The Hi-Tech Park (HTP) in Minsk was Belarus's Silicon Valley — home to EPAM Systems (now a $10B+ NYSE-listed IT services company), Wargaming (World of Tanks), and development of Viber. The HTP leveraged the UTC+3 timezone to serve both European and Asian clients during overlap hours.
