-# Review of the linked documents from http://adilet.zan.kz/
-# produced the following data for post-1991 Kazakhstan:
-#
-# 0. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR
-# from 1991-02-04 No. 20
-# http://pravo.gov.ru/proxy/ips/?docbody=&nd=102010545
-# removed the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of the USSR
-# starting with the last Sunday of March 1991.
-# It also allowed (but not mandated) Kazakh SSR, Kirghiz SSR, Tajik SSR,
-# Turkmen SSR and Uzbek SSR to not have "summer" time.
-#
-# The 1992-01-13 act also refers to the act of the Cabinet of Ministers
-# of the Kazakh SSR from 1991-03-20 No. 170 "About the act of the Cabinet
-# of Ministers of the USSR from 1991-02-04 No. 20" but I didn't found its
-# text.
-#
-# According to Izvestia newspaper No. 68 (23334) from 1991-03-20
-# (page 6; available at http://libinfo.org/newsr/newsr2574.djvu via
-# http://libinfo.org/index.php?id=58564) on 1991-03-31 at 2:00 during
-# transition to "summer" time:
-# Republic of Georgia, Latvian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, SSR Moldova,
-# Estonian SSR; Komi ASSR; Kaliningrad oblast; Nenets autonomous okrug
-# were to move clocks 1 hour forward.
-# Kazakh SSR (excluding Uralsk oblast); Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Tajik
-# SSR; Andijan, Jizzakh, Namangan, Sirdarya, Tashkent, Fergana oblasts
-# of the Uzbek SSR were to move clocks 1 hour backwards.
-# Other territories were to not move clocks.
-# When the "summer" time would end on 1991-09-29, clocks were to be
-# moved 1 hour backwards on the territory of the USSR excluding
-# Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenia, Tajikistan.
-#
-# Apparently there were last minute changes. Apparently Kazakh act No. 170
-# was one of such changes.
-#
-# https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Декретное время
-# claims that Sovetskaya Rossiya newspaper on 1991-03-29 published that
-# Nenets autonomous okrug, Komi and Kazakhstan (excluding Uralsk oblast)
-# were to not move clocks and Uralsk oblast was to move clocks
-# forward; on 1991-09-29 Kazakhstan was to move clocks backwards.
-# (Probably there were changes even after that publication. There is an
-# article claiming that Kaliningrad oblast decided on 1991-03-29 to not
-# move clocks.)
-#
-# This implies that on 1991-03-31 Asia/Oral remained on +04/+05 while
-# the rest of Kazakhstan switched from +06/+07 to +05/06 or from +05/06
-# to +04/+05. It's unclear how Kzyl-Orda oblast moved into the fifth
-# time belt. (By switching from +04/+05 to +05/+06 on 1991-09-29?) ...
-#
-# 1. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan
-# from 1992-01-13 No. 28
-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000028_
-# (text includes modification from the 1996 act)
-# introduced new rules for calculation of time, mirroring Russian
-# 1992-01-08 act. It specified that time would be calculated
-# according to time belts plus extra hour ("decree time"), moved clocks
-# on the whole territory of Kazakhstan 1 hour forward on 1992-01-19 at
-# 2:00, specified DST rules. It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was
-# located in the fourth and the fifth time belts and specified the
-# border between them to be located east of Kustanay and Aktyubinsk
-# oblasts (notably including Turgai and Kzyl-Orda oblasts into the fifth
-# time belt).
-#
-# This means switch on 1992-01-19 at 2:00 from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for
-# Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Aqtobe, Asia/Oral, Atyrau and Kustanay oblasts; from
-# +05/+06 to +06/+07 for Asia/Almaty and Asia/Qyzylorda (and Arkalyk) [*]....

-# from 1992-03-27 No. 284
-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P920000284_
-# cancels extra hour ("decree time") for Uralsk and Kzyl-Orda oblasts
-# since the last Sunday of March 1992, while keeping them in the fourth
-# and the fifth time belts respectively.

-# 3. Order of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan
-# from 1994-09-23 No. 384
-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/R940000384_
-# cancels the extra hour ("decree time") on the territory of Mangystau
-# oblast since the last Sunday of September 1994 (saying that time on

-# result)....

-# 4. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
-# from 1996-05-08 No. 575

-# cancels the extra hour ("decree time") for Atyrau oblast since the
-# last Sunday of March 1999 while retaining the oblast in the fourth
-# time belt.
-#
-# This means change from +05/+06 to +04/+05.

-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P000001749_/23.11.2000
-# replaces the previous five documents.
-#
-# The only changes I noticed are in definition of the border between the
-# fourth and the fifth time belts. They account for changes in spelling
-# and administrative division (splitting of Turgai oblast in 1997
-# probably changed time in territories incorporated into Kostanay oblast
-# (including Arkalyk) from +06/+07 to +05/+06) and move Kyzylorda oblast
-# from being in the fifth time belt and not using decree time into the
-# fourth time belt (no change in practice).[*]

-# 7. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
-# from 2003-12-29 No. 1342
-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P030001342_
-# modified the 2000-11-23 act. No relevant changes, apparently.

-# from 2004-07-20 No. 775
-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/archive/docs/P040000775_/20.07.2004
-# modified the 2000-11-23 act to move Kostanay and Kyzylorda oblasts into
-# the fifth time belt and add Aktobe oblast to the list of regions not
-# using extra hour ("decree time"), leaving Kazakhstan with only 2 time
-# zones (+04/+05 and +06/+07). The changes were to be implemented
-# during DST transitions in 2004 and 2005 but the acts got radically
-# amended before implementation happened.

-# 9. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
-# from 2004-09-15 No. 1059
-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P040001059_
-# modified the 2000-11-23 act to remove exceptions from the "decree time"
-# (leaving Kazakhstan in +05/+06 and +06/+07 zones), amended the
-# 2004-07-20 act to implement changes for Atyrau, West Kazakhstan,
-# Kostanay, Kyzylorda and Mangystau oblasts by not moving clocks
-# during the 2014 transition to "winter" time.
-#
-# This means transition from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for Atyrau oblast (no
-# zone currently), Asia/Oral, Asia/Aqtau and transition from +05/+06 to
-# +06/+07 for Kostanay oblast (Kostanay and Arkalyk, no zones currently)
-# and Asia/Qyzylorda on 2004-10-31 at 3:00....[*]

-# 10. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
-# from 2005-03-15 No. 231
-# http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/P050000231_
-# removes DST provisions from the 2000-11-23 act, removes most of the
-# (already implemented) provisions from the 2004-07-20 and 2004-09-15
-# acts, comes into effect 10 days after official publication.
-# The only practical effect seems to be the abolition of the summer
-# time.
-#
-# Unamended version of the act of the Government of the Russian Federation
-# No. 23 from 1992-01-08 [See 'europe' file for details].
-# Kazakh 1992-01-13 act appears to provide the same rules and 1992-03-27
-# act was to be enacted on the last Sunday of March 1992.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2016-04-15):
-# The tables below should reflect Stepan Golosunov's remarks above,
-# except for the items marked "[*]" which I haven't gotten to yet.
-# It looks like we will need new zones Asia/Atyrau and Asia/Qostanay
-# to handle changes from 1992 through 2004 that we did not previously
-# know about.
