Converting Alaska Standard Time to Moscow Standard Time
Alaska Standard Time (AKST) and Moscow Standard Time (MSK) are separated by a 12 hours time difference. MSK is 12 hours ahead of AKST. AKST is UTC-9, used in United States, while MSK is UTC+3, used in Russia.
When converting from AKST to MSK, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM AKST equals 9:00 PM MSK, 12:00 PM noon AKST equals 12:00 AM MSK, and 5:00 PM AKST equals 5:00 AM MSK. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.
Scheduling Across AKST and MSK
For professionals scheduling meetings between AKST and MSK, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 12 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.
Daylight Saving Time Considerations
AKST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to AKDT (UTC-8) during summer months. MSK does not observe DST, staying at UTC+3 year-round. During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
