While the Russians say stop: Now it s summer all year round.

This means that when the rest of the world to set time an hour back, the Russians put the clocks tick forward in uninterrupted daylight.

President Medvedev says there are several reasons why Russia has to keep a time throughout the year. Among the reasons he mentions economic and health effects.

- Sleep much or wake-up too early.

-Everybody hates it and everyone is annoyed that we set the clock. Either go to the people or people wake up one hour early without having to guess what they will use the extra hours, said Medvedev.

The past century, Russians have alternated between having winter or not. In 1917, daylight saving was introduced, while the Soviet Union in June 1930 did the summer time, permanent. Thus ended the country one hour ahead of its original time zone.

Since 1981, the Russians made the Norwegians, turned the clocks one hour back in the fall and one hour ahead in winter.

Recently, the number of time zones in Russia decreased from eleven to nine and the goal is to cut down further on the number of zones.

Russian President Dmitrij Medvedev is tired of morning grumpy Russians, who forget to set the clocks now. Now he reintroduces one hour for Russia year round, regardless of season. Russia will continue to have different time zones geographically.

- I have decided to stop the winter from this autumn, said the Russian President Dmitrij Medvedev.

The Russians, for the first time since 1980 to keep summer time all year round.
